American Companies Come Together at Indo Defence 2024 in the Inaugural USA Partnership Pavilion, Showcasing Innovation and Commitment to U.S.–Indonesia Relations
Waldwick, NJ, USA & Jakarta, Indonesia — June 5, 2025 — In less than one week, over two dozen American defense and security companies will come together in the USA Partnership Pavilion at Indo Defence 2024, Indonesia’s largest tri-service defense exhibition. The companies will exhibit under the USA Partnership Pavilion, a hub for American business at the show. In addition to the dozens of companies exhibiting within the Pavilion, there will be countless American products on display throughout the show.
The Pavilion, organized by Kallman Worldwide, and wide breadth of products on display represent the strength of U.S. industry and its commitment to regional partnerships, innovation, and long-term cooperation with Indonesia.
With 25 exhibitors from 14 states, including five first-time participants at the show and two companies new to the Indonesian market, the Pavilion is one of the largest national groups represented at Indo Defence. From advanced aerospace solutions and defense systems to cybersecurity technologies and tactical equipment, U.S. companies are showcasing the range of American innovation and their readiness to support Indonesia’s evolving security and modernization goals.
“Our participation in Indo Defence 2024 and the organization of the USA Partnership Pavilion mark significant milestones for Kallman Worldwide,” said Tom Kallman, President and CEO of Kallman Worldwide. “With more than 60 years of experience organizing U.S. pavilions in 43 countries, this show marks our 44th country—our first time in Indonesia. We are honored to facilitate a platform where American companies can showcase their innovations and forge meaningful partnerships, reflecting our ongoing commitment to global collaboration and industry excellence.”
The highlight of the Pavilion’s events is this Endeavour Scholarship Award Ceremony, where the Indonesian recipients of the Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship will be announced. Recipients include four students and one educator who, as part of Mission Team 22, will participate in the U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s renowned Space Camp in July 2025. The scholarship demonstrates Kallman Worldwide’s commitment to inspiring the next generation of innovators and STEM leaders in the aerospace community.
