Investment choices made today will shape Indonesia’s economic and environmental future. At this pivotal moment, sustainability, encompassing water, energy, and natural systems has become a core economic issue, underpinning productivity, resilience, and long-term growth. As Indonesia navigates structural change, climate pressures, and global uncertainty, this perspective examines how clearer policy direction and stronger  public–private alignment can steer investment toward durable value supporting growth that is resilient, inclusive, and fit for the decades. 

• Retno Marsudi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia (2014-2024)

The next wave of global capital will not be drawn by cheap labour or tax incentives alone, but by economies that offer predictability, scale, and credible returns. Today’s investors prioritise strong industrial capacity, resilient supply chains, and clear pathways from policy ambition to commercial viability. This session examines how Indonesia can align policy, infrastructure, talent, and regulation to translate industrial priorities into bankable projects, using credible de-risking instruments, institutional coordination, and targeted incentives to attract long-term, value-adding, and impactful investment.

The President of the Republic of Indonesia has set a target to deploy 500,000 Indonesian migrant workers in skilled overseas jobs, marking a shift toward skilled migration. This shift requires upfront financing for training, certification, and language preparation, alongside deployment costs. 

In 2024, migrant workers generated IDR 260 trillion in remittances, with potential to exceed IDR 1,174 trillion by 2040. However, financing constraints across migrant workers, recruitment agencies (P3MI), and training institutions (LPK) continue to limit scale and quality. This session examines how integrated, cross-sector financing can increase skilled labour mobility and strengthen Indonesia’s long-term competitiveness.

The Indonesia–United Kingdom Bilateral Business Roundtable will bring together senior leaders from government, business, and academia to examine power grid development as a strategic foundation for Indonesia’s energy transition and long-term economic growth.

Islamic sustainable finance holds significant potential to deepen financial markets, strengthen economic resilience, and advance more inclusive and sustainability-aligned growth in Indonesia and other emerging economies. Building on Indonesia’s expanding sharia economy and its leadership in Islamic financial instruments, this roundtable will examine opportunities to scale ESG-aligned and sharia-compliant finance while addressing structural challenges related to market depth, financial inclusion, liquidity, and access to long-term capital, with the aim of linking global best practices to national development priorities and positioning Indonesia as a leading voice in Islamic sustainable finance across the Global South.

GDP remains a vital measure of economic performance, yet long-term prosperity is shaped by more than output alone. Development choices influence productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability over time. This perspective highlights how aligning growth objectives with broader economic considerations can strengthen resilience and support durable progress. Redefining prosperity in this way helps ensure that growth remains robust, credible, and forward-looking.

• Nadia Habibie, Executive Board of The Habibie Center

Indonesia’s vast natural capital from forests and oceans to critical minerals offers a foundation for building a modern, growth-generating green economy. Turning this endowment into enduring value, however, requires a transition that is market-driven, investable, and anchored in verifiable impact rather than aspiration alone. 

This session explores how standards, finance, and technology can unlock green industries at scale from carbon markets and nature-based solutions to clean energy and green manufacturing, while monetising natural assets in ways that preserve them for future generations.

Amid growing uncertainty in the global economy, Islamic trade has emerged as a promising alternative for strengthening trade, investment, and connectivity through more coherent industrial frameworks and stronger cross-border linkages. Islamic countries collectively represent one of the world’s largest markets, driven by halal and Shariah-compliant industries, yet intra-regional trade and investment remain below potential due to fragmented standards, weak connectivity, and uneven industrial capacity. 

Through the launch of the B57+ Initiative, this roundtable aims to align business priorities, strengthen market linkages, and unlock new trade and investment opportunities by leveraging Islamic finance, fostering innovation, building partnerships, and empowering SMEs to scale across markets.

Indonesia is entering a decisive decade in which economic transformation and climate action must advance together, with carbon pricing and carbon markets increasingly positioned as core economic policy levers rather than standalone climate tools. A credible and predictable carbon policy framework can reduce investment risk, correct price signals, and mobilise large-scale public and private capital to support low-carbon growth, competitiveness, and productivity across key sectors. 

With strong potential in areas such as low-carbon manufacturing, critical minerals, agroforestry, the blue economy, and alternative fuels, effective implementation will depend on private-sector leadership supported by clear policy direction and coordinated execution. This roundtable aims to align stakeholders, prioritise high-impact investments, and ensure carbon policy serves as a catalyst for decarbonisation, competitiveness, and sustained green growth in Indonesia.

In an era defined by rapid technological change and global uncertainty, Indonesia must work smarter and move faster to sustain growth. This means investing in skills, innovation, and digital transformation, while empowering industries and regions to perform at their full potential. Building a more productive Indonesia is not just about working harder, but about creating smarter systems that drive inclusive and sustainable competitiveness.

• Bagus Muljadi, Assistant Professor at University of Nottingham, Host of Chronicles

Indonesia’s recent slide in global competitiveness rankings underscores a deeper challenge: future gains will depend less on factor accumulation and more on productivity, skills, and effective institutions. Weak infrastructure execution, regulatory complexity, and uneven government efficiency are increasingly constraining growth. 

This session explores how Indonesia can strengthen competitiveness by upgrading human capital, accelerating technology adoption, streamlining regulation, and realigning incentives so that the economy moves up the value chain, shifting from growth driven by inputs to growth driven by ideas, innovation, and quality.

AI is reshaping how companies in Southeast Asia compete, grow, and lead, but most are still figuring out how to turn experimentation into lasting advantage. This session invites participants to explore what truly sets apart the organizations that are breaking through the noise. How are they redefining value in an AI-driven economy? What makes transformation succeed or stall in such a diverse and fast-moving region? 

This session distills insights from Bain & Company’s latest research on how Southeast Asian businesses can convert AI’s promise into measurable impact. Drawing from real-world examples across banking, manufacturing, and technology, the session offers a concise roadmap for leaders to accelerate organizational speed, decouple growth from cost, and build sustainable competitive advantage in the AI era.

Indonesia has sustained economic growth and high employment, yet persistent underemployment and informality point to gaps in productivity and job quality. As technological change reshapes labour demand, the challenge is no longer simply creating jobs, but ensuring that growth delivers productive, formal, and future-ready employment. 

Addressing this requires more than market forces alone: it calls for clearer long-term economic direction, stronger policy coordination, and an enabling state that aligns skills development, investment incentives, and technology adoption with private-sector dynamism. How can growth, productivity, and job creation be better aligned to support national competitiveness?

Indonesia’s pursuit of high growth toward its 2045 vision must be matched by progress that is inclusive and widely shared. Social enterprises are increasingly recognized as important actors in this effort, bridging market activity with social impact where conventional approaches fall short.

At the Indonesia Economic Summit 2026, convened by the Indonesian Business Council, Indonesia’s Future Growth Champions serves as a dedicated platform for emerging leaders from business, government, public policy, and social enterprise. Within this platform, the session Building Bridges of Impact: Empowering Change Through Social Enterprise is delivered in collaboration with Endeavor Indonesia, examining how social enterprises can contribute more effectively to inclusive growth while addressing policy, incentive, and institutional gaps that constrain their sustainability and scale.

The Indonesia–Australia Business Roundtable will convene senior leaders from government, business, and academia to address the practical constraints limiting Australian investment at scale in Indonesia, including skills availability, regulatory frictions, and administrative processes. With strong investor appetite on both sides, the discussion will focus on how targeted policy and operational improvements can unlock greater mutual investment and co-investment opportunities.

Timed to coincide with the General Review of the Indonesia–Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), the roundtable will support the development of a joint Indonesian–Australian submission to the IA-CEPA review, present and launch an updated Invested: Indonesia to 2040 investment prospectus, and lay the foundation for a more structured and ongoing platform for bilateral policy dialogue and commercial cooperation.

In an increasingly volatile and fragmented global economy, how can Indonesia leverage Danantara as a credible long-term investment anchor to navigate global risks crowding in private and foreign capital, de-risking priority sectors such as infrastructure, energy transition, and downstream industries, while maintaining strong governance and commercial discipline? And how can Danantara align Indonesia’s development priorities with global investor expectations?

• Pandu Sjahrir, Chief Investment Officer of BPI Danantara

The global economy is entering a period of sustained fragmentation, driven by great-power rivalry, competing industrial strategies, supply-chain reconfiguration, and climate stress. For open and emerging economies, the central challenge is no longer optimization but risk management: limiting exposure to coercion, disruption, and spillovers while preserving strategic autonomy. 

This session examines how states can mitigate geopolitical and economic shocks through diplomatic positioning, diversification of partnerships, and resilience-building, treating uncertainty as a permanent condition of the international system rather than a temporary disruption.
