Indonesia Motor Show
The Proud Journey of the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) Over 22 Years.
From its first exhibition through this year’s 22nd (Sept 18-28), the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) has certainly journeyed far over the years. The exhibition has gone through countless phases and periods before assuming its current position as the largest auto show in South East Asia. The success it enjoys today is the result of continued work and consistent effort from the country’s industrial players, under the umbrella of GAIKINDO (The Association of Indonesia Automotive Industries), the official association that gathers sole agents, distributors, and manufacturers of the automotive industry in Indonesia.

As the largest automotive organization in Indonesia, GAIKINDO has become a world-class, professional and independent automotive organization which plays an active role as the government’s partner in developing the industry towards competition in the international market. To realize this vision, GAIKINDO mission is one of constantly transforming Indonesia’s automotive industry and boosting its competitive edge in the global market. GAIKINDO has taken numerous measures to realize the vision, and one of them is conducting the Indonesia International Motor Show. IIMS serves as a medium that mirrors the development of the country’s automotive industry before a global audience. Through IIMS, GAIKINDO demonstrates that the Indonesian automotive industry is continuously developing and holding huge potential.

Not merely an exhibition, IIMS has a constant mission in organizing each event; a grand theme that binds the entire organization of IIMS. IIMS consistently introduces themes that encourage positive development of the country’s automotive industry, as this year, when the committee introduced “Smart & Safe Mobility” as the theme for IIMS 2014. IIMS also acts as the medium for GAIKINDO to strengthen its automotive networks with local and international partners. Throughout its long journey, IIMS has shared many stories and this journey has supported Indonesia in becoming one of the leading automotive players in South East Asia.
“IIMS is the biggest auto show in Indonesia, and serves as the benchmark for the automotive industry in the country, as well as in South East Asia. IIMS is a window that depicts the progress of the country’s automotive industry. And with support from OICA, IIMS not only targets local consumers, but a global audience, and becomes the benchmark for the Indonesian automotive industry on a global level,” said GAIKINDO Chairman, Sudirman MR.
