Jakarta, 2 July 2026. With a population of 270 million, more than 65 million MSMEs, and 77 million unbanked adults, Indonesia is one of the largest frontiers for financial evolution in Southeast Asia. The country’s payments infrastructure processed over 16 billion transactions last year, and the government is targeting 8% GDP growth.
Despite that scale, there has not been a dedicated annual global platform built explicitly around Indonesia’s financial transformation until now.
That changes this July. On 7 and 8 July 2026, Trescon will officially launch the inaugural edition of Finance 2045 at the Sheraton Grand Jakarta Gandaria City.
Choosing Southeast Asia’s largest economy as the launch pad for this global conference series is a deliberate move to position Jakarta at the center of the global financial dialogue, echoing how the World AI Show is treating the country as ground zero for its own AI expansion plans.
A Confluence of Finance and Frontier Technology
The two day summit is set to gather more than 1,000 banking pioneers, fintech founders, enterprise finance executives, institutional investors, and policymakers. Co located with the 47th Global Edition of the World AI Show, the combined event will bring together more than 2,000 senior leaders at the intersection of capital, regulatory policy, and next generation technology.
The agenda is built around three core pillars shaping tomorrow’s financial architecture. The first covers the next frontier of banking, including digital banking, AI in financial services, and next generation payments. The second addresses inclusive and sustainable capital, diving into Islamic finance, financial inclusion, and SME finance. The third looks at macro economic drivers, aligning commercial strategy with sustainable finance and Indonesia’s national growth mandates.
Elite Speakers and Government Backing
Confirming the event’s national significance, Finance 2045 has secured the strategic partnership of the Ministry of Creative Economy, Indonesia (EKRAF). The initial lineup of confirmed speakers includes Dr. Ferry Irawan, Deputy for Coordination of Management and Development of State Owned Enterprises at Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, and Dr. Ir. Mohammad Rudy Salahuddin, Secretary of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry.
Also confirmed are Nobuya Kawasaki, President Director and CEO of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk, Uli Agustina, Head of Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Assets, and Crypto Assets Supervision at Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), and Sylvia Lazuarni, Acting CEO of Home Credit Indonesia.
That roster reflects how banking infrastructure and digital asset oversight are increasingly being discussed in the same rooms, particularly as Indonesia’s regulators sharpen their stance on digital markets more broadly.
These figures will be joined by C suite executives from Pertamina Bina Medika, Home Credit Indonesia, McDonald’s Indonesia, and HSBC Indonesia, with further names to be announced in the coming weeks.
High Stakes Innovation: The Startup World Cup
In a bid to propel Indonesia’s homegrown innovation onto the global stage, Day 2 of the summit will host the Startup World Cup Indonesia Qualifiers.
Organized in partnership with Pegasus Tech Ventures, a Silicon Valley venture firm managing more than $2 billion in assets, the live pitch competition gives local startups a rare shot at global capital, mirroring the kind of momentum institutional investors are chasing across emerging markets right now.
The winning founder will secure a guaranteed slot at the Startup World Cup Grand Semifinal in San Francisco this November, competing head to head with the world’s best for a USD 1 million direct investment.
Sponsors and Partners
Finance 2045 and the World AI Show have secured a wide coalition of government, industry, and technology partners. Strategic government partners include EKRAF (Ministry of Creative Economy) and Kementerian Perindustrian Republik Indonesia (Ministry of Industry), with KORIKA and AISII serving as supporting partners.
Datadog is the lead sponsor, with Magure as platinum sponsor. Gold sponsors include Zoom, UCloud Global, PT ASIX Indonesia Cerdas, Redis, and Akamai, while Alibaba Cloud, Indonet, Datalabs, and Google Cloud round out the silver tier. Bronze sponsors PingCap TiDB and Primary Guard, along with CXO Boardroom partners Datadog, Zoom, Redis, and Aerospike, complete the commercial backbone of the event.
Exhibitors confirmed for the summit include Odoo, SysArc Infomatix, Credgenics, QRC Assurance and Solutions, Sharp Peak Consulting, PT Helios Informatika, FanRuan Software, Xtremax, Ingram Micro, Mekari, IPInfraIOT, Jatis Mobile, and InfraLoka. Association partners span KADIN Jakarta, APDI, Starfindo, Britcham Indonesia, ISACA Indonesia, KUMPUL, Telkom University, ADIGSI, Indonesia AI Society, and Block71 Indonesia.
Shaping the Next Multi Trillion Dollar Economy
Finance 2045 is positioned as more than a conference. It is designed as a forge for the future of economic accessibility, technological integration, and financial sovereignty, bringing together the architects of global finance and the builders of frontier technology. The summit aims to provide a roadmap for Indonesia’s journey toward its 2045 economic vision, a target that sits alongside the country’s broader ambitions in tokenized finance and digital asset infrastructure.
Whether the goal is scaling operations, securing institutional capital, or watching the region’s next breakout startup take the stage, organizers are positioning Finance 2045 as the definitive Southeast Asian venue for where finance takes its next shape, a claim that will be tested against the same regulatory currents shaping stablecoins and crypto regulation worldwide.
Registration for delegate passes, exhibition opportunities, and media accreditation is open. Tickets can be purchased here, and sponsorship access can be arranged here. Full event details are available on the official Finance 2045 website.
