The latest V-Connect Indonesia Edition successfully brought 50 global companies and over 2,000 trade participants from 50 countries together

In 2021, the trade fair industry is still impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which affects the physical trade exhibition. However, VNU Asia Pacific, together with Permata Kreasi Media, the organiser of ILDEX Indonesia and Aquatica Asia, keeps pushing to create an online event to connect with the livestock and aquaculture industries for the Indonesian market and international companies via the 'V-Connect Indonesia Edition' platform.

This is the digital platform developed by VIV and ILDEX to enable in-person B2B networking and provide a progressive web base. This smartphone-supported online ecosystem optimises the connection and business opportunities for ASEAN's Feed-to-Food Industry participants.

'V-Connect Indonesia Edition' has shown itself to be the leading digital B2B networking and knowledge-sharing event for ASEAN's Feed to Food Industry. During the event, over 2,346 virtual exhibition visitors from 50 countries connected with 50 top companies. Over 366 potential buyers registered to attend our platform, making up 418 interactive chats and successful business matches with our exhibitors.

Successful Knowledge Sharing Platform
Moreover, 14 conference sessions were given by 32 speakers from private companies, government agencies and industry associations who presented about the Newcastle Disease Challenge, Animal Health, Industry Professional Training and Antimicrobial Resistance. In addition, presentations about expanders for higher pellet mill capacity and better pellet quality, Cage-Free Egg Producers, eFishery, Smart and Happy with E-Digital, Digital Transformation, Complete Solutions for Profitable Pigs, Optimal Stress Management and Black Soldier Fly Meal for fish-shrimp farming were given.

In total, 1,555 conference delegates showed that the industry's demand for knowledge, innovations, and networking remains high. As such, a digital platform can be an efficient solution to this demand.

Indonesian Livestock Market Outlook
Ruri Sarasono, Director of PT. Permata Kreasi Media (the representative of the organisers) states that "Covid-19 has changed the regular form of our entire industry completely; physical events, especially in the Asia Pacific region, have been severely affected over the past year and a half. However, the livestock industry business needs to be carried on by considering the demand from the market remains at a high level."

Dr Ir. Nasrullah, M.SC, Director General of Livestock and Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture The Republic of Indonesia supported that "The Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia appreciated the holding of the ILDEX event since 2013. Which is an event related to livestock, fisheries and others on an international scale in Indonesia. Apart from being a promotional tool of advanced products and technology in this industry. ILDEX is also a meeting place for stakeholders from within and outside the country."

"This event is a tangible manifestation that digitalisation is a new phenomenon, an opportunity as well as challenge for the marine and fisheries sector and is expected to be a hope to support Indonesia's development," adds Dr Tb Haeru Rahayu, A.Pi., M, SC, Director General of Aquaculture, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of The Republic of Indonesia.

The "V-Connect Indonesia Edition" will remain open to all participants until December 9 2021 to allow business matching with exhibitors and re-watching sessions you might miss during the event. To continue the journey on the V-Connect Indonesia Edition platform, visit the link, HERE.
