From the beaches of Bali to the high energy of the capital city of Jakarta, Indonesia is a fascinating country. It is the fourth most populous country in the world, with a population of more than 230 million and 280-plus different ethnic groups, so organizations are interested in tapping this marketplace. Indonesia also is the largest Muslim country in the world. By selling to this large market, or exporting products from there, global companies see participation in this economy as critical to their global business 
success.
