This grand event was led by the State-Owned Enterprises Minister (BUMN) and was attended by the management of all state-owned and foreign state-owned companies.
In this event, the BUMN Ministry invited foreign companies to provide advice and training to the management of all state-owned companies for better business management.
"Large companies with proper management are needed," said Jusuf Kalla in Jakarta, Thursday (8/9/2016).
According to Kalla, proper management of state-owned enterprises could fulfill the aspiration of state-owned companies as the vanguard of economic sustainability in a country. "State-owned companies should play a strategic role in advancing the economy of the country," he said.
The Executive Committee Chairman of IBD Expo 2016, Hempi N Prajudi, previously stated that this grand event would be attended by foreign state-owned companies such as Temasek, Chinese SOEs, and other foreign SOEs to conduct sharing sessions on business management.
The presence of foreign SOEs is expected to introduce inputs for all state-owned companies. "Sharing sessions with foreign SOEs will also help us stay motivated, especially regarding the learning process of holding establishment," Hempi said.
The IBD Expo also featured several products, innovations, and flagship products of state-owned companies, such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train, the fast train mock-up, PT Dirgantara Indonesia's flight simulator, firearms and tanks of PT Pindad, and ships from PT PAL.
The IBD Expo 2016 was the first event held by four state-owned companies within the National Publishing and News Corporation (NPNC) cluster, comprising PT Balai Pustaka, Perum LKBN Antara, Perum PNRI, and Perum PFN.
The purpose of this event was to provide the public an insight into the performance development and role of state-owned companies through the BUMN Hadir Untuk Negeri (SOEs Serve the Country) program, as well as to demonstrate the commitment of state-owned companies in developing and empowering the underdeveloped, leading, and outermost regions.
"This event is intended to provide a comprehensive overview to the public because so far, the public might not be aware of what state-owned companies are and what their performance is like," he said.
