Automechanika Jakarta
Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE), 24 – 27 September 2026
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- During today's press conference, Messe Frankfurt announced the expansion of the Automechanika trade fair brand in Southeast Asia, highlighting Indonesia's advantages as an emerging economy with a robust automotive industry, the largest in Southeast Asia.[1] With a Cooperation Agreement signed between Messe Frankfurt and the Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM) to organise the fair, the partnership leverages a combination of international and local resources, networks and expertise to advance the sector. Scheduled from 24 to 27 September 2026 at Jakarta's all-new Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE), this inaugural event underscores the company's commitment to building trade platforms in high potential growth markets. The show expects to feature 350 exhibitors across 15,000 sqm of exhibition space.
"Messe Frankfurt's presence in Southeast Asia continues to expand in efforts to support new trade routes burgeoning across the region. In this regard, Automechanika Jakarta is an important addition to the company's Mobility & Logistics portfolio. Indonesia has strong potential, especially within the automotive supply chain; shifts in investment towards the country's manufacturing and logistics sectors emphasise its significance in the global supply chain", commented Mr Stephan Buurma, Member of the Board of the Management, Messe Frankfurt Group. He added: "We look forward to working alongside GIAMM and utilising their local expertise to further develop international trade in the region while uniting the Indonesian automotive market."
The company organises around 40 trade fairs serving the Mobility & Logistics sector. Automechanika Jakarta represents the company's second entry into Indonesia, following the successful launch of Asiabike Jakarta in 2023, as well as the achievements of other regional Automechanika shows in Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and Shanghai. While Indonesian companies have had an active presence in Messe Frankfurt's 14 Automechanika brand events, this new addition aims to establish a prominent gateway into the country, opening opportunities for international trade, industry development, and information exchange to support the growth and advancement of the budding regional automotive supply chain.
Mr Hamdhani Dzulkarnaen Salim, Chairman of GIAMM, explained why the country is a prime location for such activities: "Indonesia is well-positioned to become a significant player in the global automotive supply chain over the coming years. As an emerging economy with government incentives supporting industry transformation and bolstering vehicle sales, this is a country full of opportunities. The establishment of Automechanika Jakarta is crucial in this sense, providing a much-needed platform to converge domestic and overseas markets. Sharing Messe Frankfurt's vision, we aim to foster local industry growth through this event by exposing domestic companies to best practices and valuable networks."
A Cooperation Agreement signed between Messe Frankfurt and GIAMM was witnessed by representatives from the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia and the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia. Each ministry has expressed a strong endorsement of the fair, demonstrating their commitment to fostering the growth of domestic enterprises, trade, and industry transformation, which the fair will significantly contribute to.
Strong trade position makes way for a bright future in Indonesia
Indonesia has matured into a robust international trading partner by engaging in numerous trade agreements and playing a key role in regional partnerships. This status is further solidified by the expected announcement of the EU-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) this month, which is poised to open-up trade and relationships with the European Union, creating opportunities for the development of the automotive industry.
The sector has generated international interest thanks to government incentives and an emerging middle class with increased purchasing power, among other factors. It is already the largest automotive market in Southeast Asia, with car sales projected to reach 900,000 units and motorcycle sales expected between 6.4 and 6.7 million units in 2025 according to the Association of Indonesia Automotive Industry (GAIKINDO) and the Association of Indonesian Motorcycle Industry (AISI) respectively.[2] Despite its recent rise as a global player, the country is already well established regionally, serving as a key Complete Built-Up (CBU) vehicle exporter, delivering more than 472,000 vehicles to over 100 countries under various major automotive OEMs in 2024.[3] The fair will present opportunities for international players to tap into this prosperous local market, and for domestic companies to make global connections for trade.
Automechanika Jakarta to engage all automotive players
Automechanika Jakarta engages participants from the entire automotive supply chain, including parts and components, electrics and electronics, accessories and customising, diagnostics and repair, digital solutions and services, tyres and wheels, body and paint, motorcycles, as well as automotive manufacturing and automation. In this context of growth, innovation, and promoting local industry development, the exhibition aims to empower, connect and offer interactive experiences to its array of participants.
To illustrate, fringe events are set to encourage networking and knowledge exchange aligned with the industry's direction like the Automotive Mobility Solutions Conference and the Supply Chain Collaboration Forum. Skills development will also be exemplified through the Tech & Skills Workshop with a range of targeted training exercises. Further to this, community engagement and celebrating automotive culture will be a focus of autoFEST@Jakarta, with a concert, drifting, and a car audio and modification competition, creating a rewarding experience for the entire automotive value chain, from OEMs to end-users.
In addition, the co-located Drive Expo Jakarta will showcase new car models in passenger, commercial vehicle and motorcycle sectors that are shaping Indonesia's automotive landscape.
Automechanika Jakarta is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM). For more information, please email the organisers at autoasia@hongkong.messefrankfurt.com.

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer for next-generation DeFi and real-world assets, today announced a strategic partnership with Almanak, the AI-powered quant platform enabling automated hedge-fund–grade strategies through a no-code, multi-agent AI system.
Following Almanak's spot listing on Bybit, the project will deploy its token on Mantle Network, launch a liquidity pool, and integrate its strategy-building engine directly into Mantle's ecosystem. This expansion brings a new class of AI-managed trading activity on-chain and gives Almanak users access to Mantle's fast, low-cost execution environment for algorithmic code-based strategies.
Together, Bybit, Mantle, and Almanak are establishing a seamless liquidity loop where AI-powered strategies can operate across centralized and decentralized venues, providing users with greater accessibility, transparency, and execution efficiency.
Unlocking a New Era of AI-Powered Onchain Capital Efficiency
Almanak enables users to build, research, test, and deploy sophisticated quantitative strategies using a swarm of specialized AI agents—all without writing code. Integrating with Mantle Network unlocks a high-performance execution layer where these agents can operate with precision, enabling high-frequency rebalancing, automated multi-step strategies, and complex simulations that are impractical on high-cost chains.
Mantle's low-fee, high-throughput architecture provides the ideal substrate for these workflows, supporting advanced automation and composable strategy design across the ecosystem.
Bybit complements this with global exchange infrastructure acting as the Liquidity Bridge, enabling capital to flow seamlessly between Almanak's AI-powered strategies, Mantle's on-chain environment, and broader market venues. More than 70 million users will gain streamlined access to both AI-managed strategy execution and Mantle-native liquidity.
As part of the rollout, Almanak will launch a two-sided liquidity pool on Mantle to deepen capital availability and support the growth of composable, AI-driven assets across the network.
"Almanak brings a new dimension of intelligent liquidity to Mantle," said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle and Head of Spot at Bybit. "By combining AI-driven strategy creation with Mantle's high-speed execution layer and Bybit's global liquidity, we're unlocking an integrated financial environment where sophisticated automation becomes accessible to users and institutions worldwide."
"Deploying AI strategies on Mantle gives our users the high-performance environment required for today's models," said Neo, CEO of Almanak. "Low-cost, scalable infrastructure enables more complex simulation, faster iteration, and more efficient execution. Mantle amplifies what AI-powered DeFi can achieve."
Advancing the Future of AI-Driven Onchain Finance
The collaboration marks a major step toward scaling AI-driven finance across both CeFi and DeFi. By merging Almanak's AI strategy engine, Mantle's execution infrastructure, and Bybit's global distribution, the partnership establishes a unified framework for deploying quantitative strategies in a frictionless, intelligent, liquid, multi-chain environment.
This foundation unlocks new opportunities for traders, institutions, and developers while strengthening Mantle's position as a leading chain for algorithmic, automated, and AI-native DeFi innovation.
About Mantle
Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows.
With over $4B+ in community-owned assets, Mantle combines credibility, liquidity and scalability with institutional-grade infrastructure to support large-scale adoption. The ecosystem is anchored by $MNT within Bybit, and built out through core ecosystem projects like mETH, fBTC, MI4 and more. This is complemented by Mantle Network's partnerships with leading issuers and protocols such as Ethena USDe, Ondo USDY, OP-Succinct and EigenLayer.

About Almanak
Almanak is the largest DeFAI protocol and is more than twice the size of the rest of the category combined. It is an AI native asset management platform where a team of specialized agents known as the AI Swarm builds, tests, and simulates advanced code based strategies that are ready to be deployed by users. The AI Swarm creates strategy logic and produces deployable code, but it does not manage funds directly. Strategies run entirely on code, ensuring predictable and transparent execution.
Users can deploy strategies for their own use or publish them in vaults for others to participate in, allowing strategy creators to scale their impact and monetize their work. This model combines the creativity and speed of AI generated strategy development with user control and code driven execution, establishing Almanak as the leading platform for AI powered on chain asset management.
