Programme
Two days of plenaries, closed roundtables, and sector sessions.
Economic growth is often measured through GDP, investment, productivity, and employment, but these indicators do not always capture how growth translates into better lives for people.
IES 2027 will explore how Indonesia can:
- move beyond economic indicators to measure the broader social impact of growth;
- expand access to opportunities and economic participation;
- ensure more people participate in and benefit from economic development;
- create better jobs and improve livelihoods.
The summit brings together business leaders, social impact practitioners, and global thinkers to examine how businesses can drive sustainable prosperity by embedding social impact across core operations, innovation, and value chains.
Sessions being prepared for this edition:
- ASEAN at 60: What Have We Achieved, What Comes Next for the Region and Indonesia? (Special Conversation)
- Ending Poverty Together: How Government and Businesses Drive Uplifting Growth
- Indonesia Incorporated: How Do We Make it Work?
- Building a Smarter, Healthier Generation: Are We on Track?
- Business as a Force for Good: Measuring the Social Impact
- From Village to Province: Empowering Local and Regional Economies
- Investing in Indonesian Human Talent: Better Jobs and Greater Competitiveness?
- AI, People, and Productivity
- Indonesia and the World: Is Our Foreign Policy Delivering Enough?
- Powering the Future: Energy for People and the Economy
The programme also includes plenary sessions, IES Perspectives, and bilateral and thematic roundtables. The full running order, with times and rooms, is published closer to the summit.
