The Festival Indonesia Business Forum is a bilateral platform designed to deepen Australia–Indonesia economic ties, promote bilateral trade, and attract investment across strategic sectors. Held as part of the wider Festival Indonesia program, it brings together government representatives, industry leaders and entrepreneurs from both countries.
The 2026 edition’s focus theme is cybersecurity in an AI-based digital economy, held in collaboration with RMIT. In previous years the forum has explored sectors such as health innovation and cross-border investment, reflecting the festival’s broader theme for the year.
