What to know before you go
Business Development in Indonesia
Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy and has one of the region's biggest digital markets, with e-commerce a large part of it. Many companies sell online, so business development often involves finding customers, partners and sales channels for digital products and services.
Small and medium businesses matter too, since they make up most of the country's companies and jobs. For an intern, that can mean market research, customer outreach and support with sales processes, depending on your host. Our internships in Indonesia are in Jakarta and Bali. Jakarta is the capital and main business city, while Bali's economy leans on tourism and hospitality. Tell us which sectors interest you, such as retail, travel or software, and we'll suggest where to look first.
