Yogyakarta has once again become the center of attention for business actors with the opening of the Info Franchise & Business Concept (IFBC) 2026 exhibition. Taking place for three days, from July 3 to 5, 2026, at the Jogja Expo Center (JEC), this event offers hundreds of partnership and franchise opportunities from various rapidly growing industrial sectors.

Carrying the theme "Grow Beyond Boundaries", the 179th exhibition organized by the Indonesian Franchise Association (AFI) together with Neo Expo Promosindo serves as a catalyst for individuals wishing to step into the world of entrepreneurship. The event receives full support from the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of MSMEs, and the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, demonstrating the government's commitment to strengthening the national business ecosystem.

A wide variety of business categories are showcased to attract potential investors, ranging from the retail sector, professional laundry services, traditional and modern culinary arts, to contemporary beverage segments. Not to be left behind, service sectors such as healthcare, personal care, education, and automotive also enliven the exhibition floor, providing a range of investment options suited to visitors' capital and interests.

In addition to showcasing business concepts, IFBC 2026 Yogyakarta is also hosting a series of business education sessions. Through seminar sessions and talk shows, visitors can learn strategies for choosing the right franchise, intellectual property protection, and entrepreneurship tips for retirees. Inspiring programs like "Dare to Be an Entrepreneur from a Young Age" are also presented to motivate the younger generation in Yogyakarta to build economic independence.

This exhibition serves as a strategic venue for the public to consult directly with brand owners, build professional networks, and understand the latest market trends. For the general public wishing to attend, the organizers have set an entrance ticket price of IDR 25,000 per day or IDR 35,000 for access across all three days of the exhibition.
