DNAP Engages with High‑Potential Indonesian MSMEs at Bakti BCA Go Global Program During TEI 2025
DNAP Insights
Tangerang, Indonesia — DNAP participated in the Bakti BCA MSME Go Global program during Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2025, engaging directly with curated Indonesian MSMEs across commodities, manufactured goods, and lifestyle products. The program, hosted by PT Bank Central Asia (BCA), showcased 20 high‑potential MSMEs that have undergone a multi‑year incubation, coaching, and export readiness process.
As a strategic trade and market‑expansion firm operating across the APAC region, DNAP attended the exhibition to explore new sourcing opportunities, understand exporters’ readiness, and identify potential partners for the Australian and broader international markets.
A Strong Platform for Export‑Ready Indonesian MSMEs
The Bakti BCA Go Export initiative has become one of Indonesia’s most respected MSME development programs, equipping local entrepreneurs with:
- Export capability training
- Business incubation
- Product refinement and branding support
- Halal certification assistance
- Access to international buyers
The 2025 cohort featured MSMEs offering spices, kitchenware, wooden crafts, footwear, chocolate, coffee, and lifestyle products — categories with rising demand in Australia and other APAC markets.
DNAP’s participation aligns with its mission to strengthen cross‑border trade by connecting credible Indonesian producers with global buyers seeking quality, authenticity, and scalable supply.
DNAP Meets Export‑Ready Businesses Across Commodities & Services
Throughout the exhibition, DNAP Managing Director Mohit Rai met with multiple MSMEs to understand their:
- Export strategies
- Production capacity
- Quality control processes
- Brand positioning
- Market aspirations
- Readiness for long‑term international partnerships
These conversations provided valuable insights into Indonesia’s evolving MSME landscape — particularly the growing professionalism, improved product standards, and increasing adoption of ethical and sustainable practices.
“Indonesia’s MSMEs are entering a new era,” Mohit shared during discussions. “We’re seeing stronger branding, better packaging, and a clearer understanding of what global buyers expect. Programs like Bakti BCA accelerate this transformation and create real pathways for international growth.”
A Growing Pipeline of Collaboration Opportunities
DNAP identified several promising opportunities for collaboration, especially in:
1. Spices & Natural Ingredients
High‑quality, traceable Indonesian spices continue to attract strong demand in Australia’s foodservice and specialty retail sectors.
2. Ethical & Sustainable Lifestyle Products
Wooden crafts, homeware, and slow‑fashion items showcased strong export potential due to their craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.
3. Specialty Foods & Beverages
Chocolate, coffee, and artisanal food products demonstrated readiness for premium positioning in international markets.
4. Services & Creative Industries
Some MSMEs expressed interest in expanding through digital channels, licensing, and co‑branding — areas where DNAP can provide strategic guidance.
Strengthening Indonesia–Australia Trade Pathways
DNAP’s presence at TEI 2025 reinforces its commitment to:
- Supporting Indonesian MSMEs in navigating export requirements
- Providing market intelligence and buyer expectations
- Facilitating long‑term partnerships with Australian importers
- Helping businesses scale sustainably and competitively
With MSMEs contributing 60% of Indonesia’s GDP and employing 117 million workers, DNAP recognises the critical role they play in national economic growth and global trade expansion.
