Klemens Rahardja and TES Members at CIEIE 2026

A Stage for KR, and a Platform for Members

The Entrepreneurs Society is bringing a series of international business conversations to the 2026 China (Indonesia) International E-Commerce Industry Expo at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta. For Klemens Rahardja, the moment is more than another speaking engagement. It is also a visible example of what TES was built to do: create rooms where Indonesian founders meet opportunity, build credibility, and stand beside other operators who are already doing the work.

Across 3-5 September 2026, CIEIE brings together more than 500 exhibitors, 2,000 brands, and over 40 industry categories. TES is using that setting to connect entrepreneurs with conversations on smart trade, Indonesia-China business cooperation, and the practical founder skills needed to scale beyond a local market.

"Growth is not only about the product being sold. It is also about a founder's ability to read opportunity, build connection, understand the market, and take the business to the next level," Klemens Rahardja said.

Three Business Agendas at CIEIE 2026

The program begins on Thursday, 3 September 2026, with the International Symposium of the World Internet Conference under the theme Silk Road Links Business, Smart Trade for Win-Win. The session is designed to bring a regional and cross-border lens to trade, technology, and collaboration.

On Friday, 4 September 2026, TES participates in the Indonesia-China Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum, a strategic forum for trade, investment, and partnership. The forum gives business leaders a sharper context for sourcing, market access, and commercial cooperation between Indonesia and China.

The series closes on Saturday, 5 September 2026, with the CIEIE Global Growth Seminar: Building Your Brand: Scale Your Business. Go Global. This is where Klemens and the speaker lineup bring the conversation closer to founders: how to read the market, prepare operations, create trust, and turn digital channels into real growth.

TES Members and Partners in the Spotlight

The Global Growth Seminar lifts a practical lineup of business voices. Klemens Rahardja opens the founder and market-opportunity angle through Strategies for Increasing Sales by Identifying Market Opportunities in 2026, connecting his public-speaking work with the same entrepreneur ecosystem he has built through TES.

Why This Matters for Indonesian Founders

For founders, the value of an international expo is not only the number of booths or brands in the hall. The deeper value is exposure: seeing where demand is moving, which operational standards matter, which partnerships are possible, and which stories make a business easier to trust across markets.

That is the angle Klemens brings to CIEIE 2026. His stage work is tied to a broader mission: helping entrepreneurs translate access into decisions, and helping members of the TES ecosystem be seen as credible builders in their own categories.
