THE DIGITAL
ARCHIPELAGO

BUILDING INCLUSIVE DIGITAL COMMERCE IN INDONESIA

5-6 February 2026, MANGKULUHUR ARTOTEL - JAKARTA

Overview

Indonesia is not just a nation of islands; it is a nation of untapped potential. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st-century economy, the challenge is clear: how do we ensure that the digital gold rush reaches every corner of our 17,000 islands?

The 12th Annual Indonesia Economic Forum (IEF) gathers the nation’s most influential policymakers, tech innovators, and business leaders to answer that question. Our mission this year is to move beyond the “Silicon Valley” bubbles of our major cities and build a truly Inclusive Digital Commerce ecosystem that empowers every Indonesian, from the rural farmer to the urban entrepreneur.

Event Highlights
Bridging the Divide: Strategies to integrate rural MSMEs into the global value chain.

Democratic Technology: Ensuring digital tools are accessible, affordable, and intuitive for all.

The Policy Frontier: Dialogue with regulators on fostering a safe yet innovative digital marketplace.

Infrastructure for All: Moving from physical barriers to digital highways.

The Main Event: Curtain Raiser on Indonesia Open Network (ION)
We are thrilled to host the official Curtain Raiser of the Indonesia Open Network (ION).

ION represents a paradigm shift in how our nation connects. It is the digital backbone designed to decentralize opportunity, providing the “tracks” upon which the future of Indonesian commerce will run. Witness the first look at the technology that aims to turn every village into a hub for the virtual marketplace.
