With guidance from Pertamina Patra Niaga, UMKM participants gain access to training, legal business strengthening, and ultimately, opportunities to expand their markets at Indonesia Fashion Week.

Eleven UMKM, representing various regions and showcasing diverse products like apparel, batik, woven fabrics, accessories, jewelry, and leather crafts, participated in the prominent fashion event. This participation is a key strategy by Pertamina Patra Niaga to broaden market access and boost the competitiveness of these local businesses on both national and international stages.

Talisa expressed her appreciation for Pertamina Patra Niaga's support, emphasizing the significant potential and local talent evident in the products displayed at IFW 2026. She noted that these businesses are poised for growth and market expansion through corporate collaboration.

“

There are those who come from Riau, West Nusa Tenggara and others with extraordinary works, which is proof that Indonesian local products have very proud quality.

"With guidance from Pertamina Patra Niaga, UMKM participants gain access to training, legal business strengthening, and ultimately, opportunities to expand their markets at Indonesia Fashion Week," Talisa stated. She highlighted the exceptional quality of Indonesian local products, citing examples from Riau and West Nusa Tenggara as proof of their pride-worthy standards.

“

We want these quality works from various regions to be increasingly known. Participation in Indonesia Fashion Week provides broader business opportunities for our fostered UMKM. They can strengthen their product identity and open up collaboration potential with various industry players.

VP Corporate Communication of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Kitty Andhora, added that IFW 2026 provides a crucial platform for these UMKM to gain exposure and build industry networks. Aisha Nadia, owner of Dimas Batik and a Pertamina-supported UMKM, shared her success story, noting that the program helped her establish a gallery and connect with customers beyond online interactions.

Before becoming a Mitra Binaan Pertamina, I didn't have a gallery. Alhamdulillah, after receiving guidance, I now have a gallery. I am also invited to exhibitions. I can meet customers directly who previously only interacted online.
