Jakarta, Indonesia – August 27, 2026 — The Southeast Asia Packaging Industry Expo (WEPSEA 2026) officially opened on August 27 at the Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO), bringing together packaging companies, industry professionals, buyers, and business decision-makers from Indonesia and across Southeast Asia.
As a major annual event for the region’s packaging industry, WEPSEA 2026 provides a platform for businesses to showcase technologies, explore commercial partnerships, and gain first-hand insights into opportunities across the fast-growing ASEAN market.
On the afternoon of the opening day, Stella Laurence, Senior Associate, International Business Advisory at Dezan Shira & Associates in Jakarta, participated in the concurrent Southeast Asia Packaging Industry Conference 2026 Forum, where she delivered a keynote presentation titled “Indonesia Market Analysis and Opportunities in the Packaging Industry.”
During her presentation, Stella provided an overview of the key market and investment considerations for companies evaluating opportunities in Indonesia’s packaging sector.
With Indonesia emerging as an increasingly important manufacturing and consumer hub in Southeast Asia, the packaging industry offers opportunities for international companies across manufacturing, technology, equipment, materials, and related services. At the same time, investors need to carefully assess regulatory requirements, investment structures, local operating conditions, and supply chain considerations before entering the market.
Through its participation in WEPSEA 2026, Dezan Shira & Associates, an Ascentium company, continues to support international companies seeking to enter and expand across Indonesia and the wider ASEAN region, providing market intelligence, investment advisory, business establishment, tax, accounting, HR, and compliance services.
