In the face of geopolitical uncertainty and a rapidly shifting global landscape, Indonesia stands in a highly strategic position that commands global attention. As Southeast Asia’s largest economy, fueled by abundant natural resources and a vibrant youth population, our greatest challenge is no longer just identifying our potential, but having the readiness and courage to seize it. This dynamic is vividly mirrored in Bali, which currently stands at a crossroads between addressing structural tourism challenges, preserving its environment, and answering the urgent call to build new business models that grow sustainably alongside the local community.

Answering the need for a clearer vision of the future, the 28th edition of UID Talk returns for a truly special session on Saturday, July 4 2026. This exclusive forum will feature Anindya Bakrie, Chairman of KADIN Indonesia and CEO of Bakrie & Brothers, as the keynote speaker. Drawing from his firsthand experience accompanying the President on high-level diplomatic and economic missions worldwide, he will dissect where Indonesia’s economic momentum is heading, outline the real challenges ahead, and reveal how to transform these global complexities into concrete growth strategies.

This event is designed as a collaborative space that brings together business leaders, academics, policymakers, and students into a single, impactful conversation. Your presence at the 28th UID Talk will be a vital part of shaping a more resilient and inclusive economic future. We invite you to join us, gain invaluable insights directly from a key global player, and actively contribute to the ideas that will drive both Indonesia and Bali forward.
