Jakarta. MCorp on Wednesday announced plans to stage Jakarta Marketing Week 2026 (JAKMW 2026) under the theme “Jakarta, The Global City: Inclusive, Creative, & Collaboration.”

The five-day event will run from May 6 to May 10, 2026, and aims to attract more than 400,000 visitors from multiple generations as part of efforts to accelerate Jakarta’s transformation into a global city.

Speaking at a press conference at MarkPlus Main Campus, MCorp Founder Hermawan Kartajaya said Jakarta’s identity as a global city must be rooted in inclusive diversity.

He said the city’s ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity should be seen as one of its greatest strengths.

“The main principle of a global city is that no one should feel left behind, and no one should feel privileged above others. Jakarta must become a city that is inclusive, creative, and grows through cross-sector collaboration,” Hermawan said.

He stressed the importance of strategic cooperation between cities worldwide, including sister-city partnerships such as Jakarta’s ties with Shenzhen, to strengthen economic connectivity and innovation.

According to Hermawan, leadership that can work effectively while remaining aligned with the central government is key to accelerating infrastructure development and economic diplomacy.
