VLG at IBTE Jakarta 2026: Connecting Innovation with New Market Opportunities

Four days in Jakarta brought more than a successful exhibition for VLG TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED. From August 19 to 22, 2026, our team joined the Jakarta International Baby Products & Toys Expo (IBTE Jakarta) at JAKARTA INTERNATIONAL EXPO (JIEXPO), meeting industry professionals from Indonesia and beyond and gaining first-hand insight into one of Southeast Asia’s dynamic consumer markets.

For VLG, exhibitions are never simply about displaying products. They are opportunities to listen, communicate and understand where the market is heading.

A Lively Meeting Point in Jakarta

Throughout the exhibition, VLG’s booth welcomed distributors, retailers, toy brands, importers and potential partners interested in the growing possibilities of intelligent toys.

Our AI interactive plush toys quickly became a focus of attention. Rather than simply viewing products on display, visitors were able to experience the toys directly—speaking with them, touching them and exploring their interactive responses.

These face-to-face demonstrations created a more intuitive way for visitors to understand what makes an AI companion toy different from a traditional plush toy.

For the VLG team, every conversation was equally valuable. Questions from buyers about product positioning, customization, target consumers, functions and commercialization helped us better understand what international customers expect from the next generation of smart toys.

From Technology to Real Consumer Experiences

AI technology is developing rapidly, but technology itself is not the final product.

At VLG, we believe the real value of AI in toys lies in creating experiences that people can naturally enjoy and use in everyday life.

Our exhibition lineup demonstrated this philosophy through a combination of soft plush characters, voice-based AI interaction, expressive movements and intelligent responses. Products such as our AI cats and other companion characters are designed to create a more natural and engaging relationship between children and their smart toys.

At the same time, VLG continues to focus on practical commercialization. Our products are developed with international markets, manufacturing requirements and OEM/ODM cooperation in mind, allowing partners to explore customized solutions based on their own brands and consumer needs.

Discovering Opportunities in Southeast Asia

Indonesia was an important reason for VLG to participate in IBTE Jakarta.

With its large consumer base, growing retail ecosystem and increasingly diverse demand for children's products, Indonesia offers significant opportunities for innovative toy companies. More broadly, Southeast Asia is becoming an increasingly important market for international brands seeking new growth opportunities.

During the exhibition, discussions with local and international visitors helped VLG gain a clearer understanding of regional market expectations.

We saw strong interest in products that combine entertainment, technology, interaction and companionship—a direction that closely matches VLG’s long-term product strategy.

The experience also reminded us that successful international products cannot simply be transferred from one market to another. Understanding local consumers, partners and business models is equally important.

Behind the Booth: A Team Driven by Curiosity

An exhibition is also a reflection of the people behind the products.

From product demonstrations and technical discussions to customer meetings and follow-up conversations, the VLG team worked closely throughout the four-day event.

Every visitor brought a different question. Every discussion created a new possibility. Some conversations focused on product development, some on distribution, while others explored potential OEM/ODM projects.

This continuous exchange of ideas is one of the most valuable parts of international exhibitions for VLG. It allows our sales, engineering and product teams to hear directly from the market and turn customer feedback into new ideas for future development.

Taking Jakarta as a New Starting Point

The conclusion of IBTE Jakarta 2026 does not mean the end of the journey.

Instead, Jakarta has given VLG another opportunity to look at the future of the smart toy industry from a new perspective.

We will continue investing in AI technology, intelligent hardware and product design while paying close attention to the real needs of children, families, brands and distributors around the world.

Our goal is not simply to make toys that can “talk.”

We want to create AI companions that people enjoy interacting with, remember and connect with.

From Shenzhen to Jakarta and from Asia to the global market, VLG will continue building partnerships, developing new products and exploring what AI can bring to the world of toys.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who visited our booth, experienced our products and exchanged ideas with the VLG team during IBTE Jakarta 2026.

Jakarta was one stop on our journey. The next chapter has already begun.
