Why CIEIE Is More Than an Expo
CIEIE 2026 brings together exhibitors, products, suppliers, distributors, and business actors from Indonesia and China. For entrepreneurs, that kind of event can become either a shallow booth walk or a serious market-learning opportunity. The difference is the questions they bring into the hall.
The Questions Klemens Wants Founders to Ask
Klemens Rahardja's work with TES has always pushed founders to look beyond surface opportunity. At CIEIE, the better questions are not only 'what can I sell?' but 'what supply chain can I understand?', 'what category is moving?', 'what partners can I trust?', and 'how does this opportunity fit my brand, capital, and execution capability?'
From Local Founder to Regional Operator
The event's China-Indonesia context helps position KR beyond domestic motivation. It links his speaking profile to cross-border trade literacy, supplier discovery, and the discipline Indonesian entrepreneurs need when they begin looking at international opportunity.
