Indo Defence Expo & Forum Strengthens International Engagementin Response to Emerging Defence Capability Trends

Jakarta, February 2026 — As part of its ongoing commitment to support the advancement of Indonesia’s defence, aerospace, and aviation ecosystem, Indo Defence Expo & Forum will be present at an international aerospace and defence exhibition in Singapore from 03–06 February 2026. This attendance reflects continued efforts to engage with international stakeholders, stay aligned with global market developments, and explore partnership opportunities ahead of the upcoming exhibition in Indonesia.

In this evolving environment, the global defence industry is increasingly shaped by the need to respond to evolving operational demands with solutions that can be adopted efficiently and integrated within existing capability frameworks. Market dynamics indicate a clear shift toward prioritising speed of deployment, system interoperability, and scalability, as defence stakeholders seek to address immediate capability requirements while maintaining long term adaptability. This environment is driving stronger interest in integrated systems, modular architectures, and collaborative industry approaches that support multi domain operations and resilient force structures. As a result, defence procurement and industrial development are becoming more closely aligned with platforms and solutions that emphasise readiness, flexibility, and sustainable capability development across air, land, and maritime domains.

These developments highlight the increasing need for industry platforms that are able to translate global innovation into practical, market oriented opportunities. In this context, The 11th Indonesia’s Official Tri-Service Defence Event is positioned to facilitate the alignment of global industry insights with Indonesia’s defence market, while supporting industry readiness for future growth and technological advancement.

To further reinforce this role, the exhibition will feature two dedicated strategic program areas designed to strengthen collaboration and capability development within the national defence ecosystem. The Innovation Zone is designed to support the downstreaming and commercialisation of national defence research (Batekhan), encourage collaboration between research institutions and industry players, and provide visibility for emerging defence technology enterprises. Complementing this initiative, the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Zone will highlight national MRO capabilities (Baharwat) while facilitating engagement with international partners, investment stakeholders, and technical collaborators, supporting Indonesia’s broader objective to enhance its position within the regional defence maintenance hub.

Hosted by the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia, Indo Defence Expo & Forum continues to strengthen its role as a forward looking meeting point for defence industry stakeholders, delegations, government institutions, and strategic partners. This engagement at Singapore supports Indo Defence’s objective to curate an exhibition that is closely aligned with current market needs, future ready technologies, and long term industry collaboration.

Indo Defence, incorporating Indo Aerospace and Indo Marine Expo & Forum, will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia, as part of Indonesia’s Official Tri-Service Defence, Aerospace, Maritime, and Security Event. The event will provide a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration through expert level seminars, industry forums, and technical presentations, alongside product exhibitions as well as product demonstrations of deployed defence technologies.
