Pertamina brings 30 local businesses to Indonesia Grand Prix in Lombok
Pertamina brought 30 small businesses to the Indonesia Grand Prix at the Mandalika circuit in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.
They had space in a bazaar during the three-day event, held from 9 to 11 October 2026.
The businesses offered food, drinks, crafts and personal-care products, and 26 of the 30 were in food and drink.
One participant, Loyok Kreatif, sells woven bamboo crafts made by a group from Lombok that involves women and people with disabilities.
Its crafts were also included as event merchandise, while other local businesses presented products such as pearl accessories.
The event gave businesses a chance to show their products to a wider audience and potentially reach new customers.
Pertamina says it wants the market opportunities created by the race to support local business and Mandalika tourism beyond the event itself.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
These MSMEs are not only striving for themselves, but also empowering those around them and collaborating with one another.
Through the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026, we want to bring broader benefits to the community, including local MSME businesses.
This event is very important for us because it not only brings customers on the day, but also provides a database of contacts and visitors' countries of origin that we can use to determine our target market.
We are promoting this sustainability aspect because the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia is an opportunity to strengthen Mandalika's appeal as a tourist destination, not only during the event but beyond it.
Loyok Kreatif was formed to develop traditional weaving skills into products with economic value.
