The French Embassy – Institut français d’Indonésie (IFI) and Business France (the French Trade & Investment Commission) are hosting the ICC Immersion Program Indonesia from April 11–16, 2026.
Launched in 2022 under the France 2030 investment plan, ICC Immersion is a flagship international acceleration programme designed to support the global expansion of innovative French creative companies. By combining market insights, institutional access, and targeted business connections, the programme has supported nearly 170 companies across 15 countries, generating new partnerships and business opportunities worldwide. For its first edition in Southeast Asia, ICC Immersion will naturally take place in Indonesia – a strategic gateway to the regional creative economy.
The ICC immersion Indonesia brings together 12 French companies active in architecture; immersive experiences; video games; museography and cultural heritage; music; and live events. Throughout the week, the delegation will engage with key Indonesian stakeholders to explore concrete collaboration opportunities and build strategic partnerships within Indonesia’s vibrant creative ecosystem.
Part of the France–Indonesia Year of Innovation 2026, the initiative also directly aligns with the Borobudur Declaration for a Joint Cultural Strategy, adopted by the French and Indonesian Presidents in May 2025, which established culture and the creative economy as strategic pillars of bilateral cooperation. The declaration encourages a strengthened collaboration in the fields of cultural heritage, creative industries, audiovisual production, video games, and performing arts. Through ICC Immersion, France and Indonesia continue to translate this shared vision into concrete partnerships and professional exchanges between their cultural and creative ecosystems.
The programme offers participating companies an in-depth exposure to Indonesia’s creative economy while encouraging the development of concrete projects and long-term partnerships between French and Indonesian stakeholders. During their stay in Indonesia, the French delegation takes part in institutional meetings, targeted B2B sessions, site visits to cultural institutions and innovation hubs, and high-level networking events.
By connecting entrepreneurs, creators, institutions and investors, ICC Immersion reinforces France–Indonesia cooperation and positions culture and creativity as powerful drivers of innovation, economic growth and cross-cultural dialogue.
