Why take part in the International Education Fairs Indonesia?

Indonesia is home to a rapidly growing number of students seeking international education, making it one of the most dynamic recruitment markets in Southeast Asia. By exhibiting at the International Education Fairs Indonesia, your institution gains direct access to a diverse pool of ambitious students actively exploring study opportunities abroad. This event is one to the few education fairs that takes universities beyond Java, reaching key student recruitment hubs in regions like Bali, where demand for international education is rising.

Bali, along with other emerging areas outside Java, has a strong base of academically driven students eager for overseas study opportunities but with fewer direct connections to international institutions. By extending your reach beyond Indonesia’s traditional recruitment areas, you’ll tap into a fresh and promising student market with untapped potential.

This fair provides a structured platform to enhance your brand visibility, engage with students, parents, and counselors, and convert interest into applications. With exclusive opportunities for face-to-face interactions, university presentations, and one-on-one consultations, this event ensures that your institution stands out in a competitive and rapidly expanding student recruitment landscape.

Supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Education

The International Education Fairs Indonesia are supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (Mendiknas) along with a great number of embassies (Australia, Singapore etc), overseas governmental educational bodies, sponsors and partners.
