Polandia Festival

Kantor Perdagangan Luar Negeri Polandia di Jakarta mengadakan Poland Festival 2021 (PF2021) guna meningkatkan kesadaran kerja sama perdagangan dan investasi antara kedua negara.

PF2021 menjadi penanda 3 tahun beroperasinya Kantor Badan Investasi dan Perdagangan Polandia (PAIH) di Jakarta.

Sebagai hasil dari hubungan mitra dengan importir terkemuka Indonesia, jumlah produk konsumen atau FMCG Polandia yang tercatat di Indonesia telah meningkat tiga kali lipat.

“Polandia adalah negara terbesar di Eropa Tengah seperti setengah Eropa. Kami punya banyak yang bisa kami tawarkan di berbagai aspek, termasuk kepada Indonesia sebagai pemimpin Asia Tenggara. Ada potensi besar, terutama pada perdagangan dan investasi,” kata Duta Besar Polandia untuk Indonesia Beata Stoczynska dalam acara Poland Festival 2021 pada Sabtu (13/11/2021).

Perhelatan ini diadakan di tiga lokasi berbeda, yakni yaitu Grand Lucky SCBD Jakarta, Hokky Supermarket Anchor Plaza Graha Family Surabaya dan GrandLucky Sanur, Bali.

PF2021 bertujuan untuk mempertahankan momentum pertumbuhan dan menerapkan strategi jangka panjang untuk mempromosikan industri Polandia, terutama dari produk FMCG.

Untuk mencapainya, perwakilan Polandia telah bermitra dengan jaringan supermarket terkemuka di Indonesia, seperti Grandlucky dan Hokky.

Kepala Jakarta Foreign Trade Office Polandia Jacek Kolomyjec mengatakan telah mengagendakan Poland Festival dengan skala lebih besar pada 2022 seiring dengan membaiknya situasi pandemi.

“Jika tahun ini ada tiga kota, maka tahun depan kami ingin menambah kota lain lagi seperti Medan dan ingin menambah fokus ke sektor lain, seperti industri perkeretaapian. Kami ingin punya posisi secara nasional di industri kereta api Indonesia,” ujarnya.

Selain itu, lanjut Jacek, beberapa fokus industri yang potensial untuk bermitra dengan Indonesia di antaranya adalah sektor teknologi hijau, produk mobilitas elektrik, dan alat kesehatan.

Kantor Perdagangan Luar Negeri Polandia di Jakarta telah berdiri sejak 2018 dengan tujuan untuk meneliti potensi bisnis di Indonesia, memperkenalkan mitra bisnis, dan menyelesaikan kesepakatan bisnis.

Saat ini total perdagangan antara kedua negara mencapai US$1 miliar, di mana neraca perdagangan Indonesia surplus. Dubes Stoczynska memperkirakan perdagangan kedua negara bisa tembus US$5 miliar hingga 2025.

TEI diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu gerbang produk ekspor unggulan Indonesia ke pasar global dengan memanfaatkan momentum pemulihan ekonomi,” ujar Menteri Perdagangan Zulkifli Hasan, Selasa (18/10/2022).

Direktur Jenderal Pengembangan Ekspor Nasional Didi Sumedi menambahkan, kesiapan ini juga dibuktikan dengan antusiasme buyers yang telah mendaftar (registered buyers). Sampai saat ini tercatat 1765 buyers dari 91 negara yang akan berpartisipasi di gelaran TEI ke-37.

“Antusiasme buyer tidak hanya berasal dari negara-negara Asia Pasifik, tetapi juga wilayah di Amerika Latin seperti Brasil, Bolivia, Chili, serta buyer dari wilayah Eropa dan Afrika,” imbuh Didi.

As experienced individuals, we have a responsibility to share our knowledge and wisdom to empower the next generation of leaders. By fostering a culture of sharing, we can inspire young minds to become creative entrepreneurs and game changers, paving the way for a brighter future.

Sharing knowledge is not simply about transferring information; it is a transformative act that ignites the spark of curiosity and opens doors to new possibilities. When we willingly share our expertise and experiences, we create an environment where young minds can thrive. By providing them with the tools and guidance they need, we enable them to develop critical thinking skills, innovation, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Through mentorship, workshops, and collaborative projects, we can shape the next generation of leaders, who will boldly navigate uncharted territories and revolutionise industries.

Knowledge sharing fosters a sense of community and collaboration. When individuals come together to exchange ideas, perspectives, and insights, they create a rich tapestry of collective intelligence. It is within these vibrant communities that innovation flourishes. By encouraging young minds to actively participate in knowledge sharing networks, we cultivate an ecosystem that breeds creativity and nurtures collaboration. In this interconnected world, where diverse talents converge, young entrepreneurs can leverage the power of collective knowledge to create groundbreaking solutions and challenge the status quo.

As we strive to shape the future, let us remember that sharing knowledge is not only a responsibility but also a privilege. By empowering the young generation with the necessary tools and resources, we unlock their immense potential to become the game changers of tomorrow.
