For March 2020 our focus is on organising the second EIC Connect Indonesia in Jakarta which will be held on 26 March 2020. We are Azman expecting 200 delegates Nasir comprising EIC members from the region and non-EIC members who are mainly key players in the Indonesian energy market. The UK ambassador to Indonesia and the Vice Minister of Energy of Indonesia are scheduled to officiate at this event and give the keynote addresses. We are expecting some 25 speakers from the oil and gas, renewables and power sectors to give their presentations on upcoming and potential energy projects in Indonesia. The event has successfully attracted nine sponsors; NES Global, Aveva, Serba Dinamik, Rosen Engineering, DHL Energy, Hellerman Tyton, Pepperl+Fuchs, 3W Networks and Vulcanic. The continuing interest by the sponsors indicates the confidence these companies have in potential business opportunities in Indonesia. We are also encouraged by the positive support from the Department for International Trade in Indonesia and Scottish Enterprise who continue to assist in promoting the event and bringing UK delegates. As per the previous event in 2017, we are expecting more than 250 one-toone meetings to occur through out the day. The speaking companies have kindly agreed to provide at least two personnel each to act as one-to-one hosts in meeting the delegates and sponsors from the EIC. Prior to EIC Connect Indonesia, EIC Asia Pacific will be attending the OTC Asia Exhibitions and Conferences in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on 24-25 March 2020. On 4 March, EIC Asia Pacific will speak at the BritishMalaysia Chamber of Commerce event on the topic of ‘Regional Opportunities in New Energy’. Apart from the EIC, other speakers at the event will be Petronas New Energy Division and the Ministry of Energy and Climate Change of Malaysia.
