JAKARTA, July 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Indonesia International Smart City 2026 Expo & Forum (IISMEX), hosted by the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia through the Directorate General of Regional Administration alongside Indo Security and Indo Firex, continues to advance its role as Indonesia's No.1 ICT and IoT exhibition and forum through regional engagement. This approach reflects IISMEX's commitment to supporting Indonesia's smart city development by connecting domestic stakeholders with regional networks.

Indonesia's smart city ecosystem continues to gain momentum, driven by the rapid adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies across both public and private sectors. According to the Indonesian IoT Association (ASIOTI), the national IoT market is projected to reach US$40 billion(approximately Rp673 trillion), with the industry expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The number of connected IoT devices is also projected to increase from 678 million devices to more than 800 million in the coming years, reflecting rising demand for smart city infrastructure, intelligent transportation, utilities, public services, and connected urban solutions. This robust market outlook presents significant opportunities for technology providers, system integrators, and government stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of smart and sustainable cities across Indonesia.(Source: Merdeka.com)

In response to these dynamics, IISMEX 2026 positions itself as a strategic partner and gateway that connects policymakers, technology providers, and investors through an integrated platform. By facilitating the exchange of regional and global perspectives, the exhibition supports alignment between policy direction, market readiness, and practical implementation, while strengthening Indonesia’s connectivity within the broader energy ecosystem.

As part of its international outreach, IISMEX will participate in The 9th ASEAN Smart Cities Network (ASCN) Annual Meeting, at Banyuwangi, Indonesia on 20–21 July 2026. The meeting is coordinated by the Directorate General of Regional Administration, Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, acting as Indonesia's National Representative to the ASCN, to facilitate the participation of the Indonesian delegation and strengthen regional cooperation on smart city development. This participation forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen regional networks, observe market developments, and support knowledge exchange within the electric power and renewable energy sectors.

Building on this engagement, IISMEX is preparing to host its 9th edition, taking place from 11–13 August 2026 at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia. Held alongside Indo Water, Indo Waste & Recycling, and Indo Renergy & Electric, Indo Security, and Indo Firex 2026 Expo & Forum, this integrated exhibition will bring together policymakers, technology providers, investors, and industry experts to foster dialogue, partnerships, and innovation.
