IndOz 2025 attracted a record breaking 611 attendees across both the Conference and Business Dinner making it the largest IndOz in the event’s 13 year history.
IndOz 2025 included the renowned IndOz Conference followed by the IndOz Business Networking Dinner. Both events have become synonymous with engaging discussions, valuable insights and targeted networking all focussed on strengthening the Indonesia - Australia bilateral relationship.
The IndOz 2025 theme was ‘Indonesia - Australia: A Thriving and Enduring Partnership’ which embodied the spirit and strength of this relationship.
This year, IndOz also introduced three new program additions: The Mining and Natural Resources Industry Roundtable, the Food and Agribusiness Industry Roundtable and the VIP Welcome Reception.
These events were created to meet the latest industry demands and trends and bolster the economic benefits IndOz can create for its attendees. Both Industry Roundtables were highly successful and attracted a targeted group of industry and government leaders from Australia and Indonesia. The VIP Welcome Reception, sponsored by Queensland Country Bank, officially launched IndOz 2025 and set the scene for another successful edition of this iconic event.
The theme of the IndOz Conference 2025 was "Indonesia - Australia: A Thriving and Enduring Partnership”. Held at the iconic Brisbane City Hall, the annual Conference attracted the largest number of delegates in its history with 266 industry and government attendees from a range of sectors and from across Australia and Indonesia including delegations from the Central Java Government and LLDIKTI Region IX - Indonesia’s Higher Education Service Institute designated by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology.
IndOz 2025 focused on the immense opportunities Indonesia and Australia can harness. By unpacking the sub-themes of Trade & Investment, Education & Training and Health, IndOz 2025 highlighted key areas for genuine collaboration including business, knowledge sharing and people-to-people. Featuring leading industry and government representatives from Australia and Indonesia, the Conference program and speakers offered attendees valuable insights into the Australia-Indonesia bilateral relationship and opportunities for connection and growth.
The IndOz Conference included three sessions across the Conference sub-themes, as well as VIP Speakers and the Keynote Address by Professor Jennifer Westacott AC, Australia’s Business Champion for Indonesia. To find out more, view the IndOz 2025 Conference Program.
IndOz 2025 was pleased to bring performances by Indonesia’s renowned and vibrant Tim Muhibah Angklung throughout both the Conference and Business Networking Dinner. Featuring 36 performers from across West Java, the group performed several songs and dances including Tari Janger and Tari Badindin, showcasing the traditional Angklung, a bamboo instrument which has been played for centuries and is officially recognised by UNESCO for its significance.
Following the IndOz 2025 Conference, attendees gathered for pre-drinks before entering the main auditorium for the 13th edition of the IndOz Business Networking Dinner. This year’s event again saw the largest number of attendees in the event’s history with 345 attendees. The dinner offered attendees a chance to network alongside conference delegates and other attendees while enjoying an evening of Indonesian culture including an array of performance and a fusion of Indonesian-Western cuisine.
Government representatives including His Excellency Roderick Brazier, Australia’s Ambassador to Indonesia, The Honourable Ros Bates MP, Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training representing Queensland Premier, The Hon. David Crisafulli, Brisbane City Councillor Steven Huang, Deputy Chair of Council and Councillor for MacGregor Ward Representing The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Cr Adrian Schrinner and Bapak Pendekar Muda Leonard Sondakh, Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia for NSW, QLD and SA, addressed attendees and acknowledged the significance of IndOz 2025 in strengthening the Australia-Indonesia relationship.
The IndOz Business Networking Dinners are also a celebration of the very real business opportunities and connections forged between Indonesia and Australia. This year’s Dinner celebrated the achievements and progress of three MOUs including an MOU that was signed at IndOz 2024 between BUMA International Group, through their subsidiary BIRU, and Central Queensland University. Since signing, through the micro-credential program on Environment and Sustainability, this partnership has enabled 100 students from 10 vocational schools in Java and Kalimantan to complete online training and receive official certificates and international digital badges from CQU.
The MOU between Privy and Wave CRM was announced after it was first uncovered at IndOz 2023 - two years ago. This MOU will enable the integration of two platforms to provide a seamless solution to peak bodies, chambers and associations, that delivers member engagement, streamlined operations, and trusted digital signatures, all under one roof. Study Cairns and LLDIKTI Region IX (Indonesia’s Higher Education Service Institute) were also acknowledged for their MOU which will promote mutual cooperation in the fields of education, training, research and capacity building.
The IndOz Business Networking Dinner also featured impressive performances from Tim Muhibah Anklung and Prisca Widjaja & Ashleigh James.
IndOz is an annual event focussed on driving connections between Australia and Indonesia. From its inception 13 years ago, IndOz has now grown into the Nation’s largest Indonesia-Australia business event.
IndOz includes a Conference and Business Networking Dinner where industry and government experts from across Australia and Indonesia gather to unpack key topics, engage in meaningful discussions and foster new and existing connections. The Conference serves as a catalyst for bilateral trade, investment and people-to-people partnerships and socio-economic development.
Each year, IndOz continues to grow, demonstrating the very real and increasing interest in the Indonesia-Australia bilateral relationship and the opportunities on offer.
Indonesia stands as the largest and one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia. With strong domestic consumption, abundant natural resources, a youthful workforce, and increasing political stability, Indonesia is projected to become one of the world’s top five economies by 2040. These fundamentals, along with ongoing investment plans, present significant opportunities for Australian businesses.
This session will explore bilateral priorities, emerging economic trends, and strategic government initiatives.
Indonesia’s growing demand for quality education and workforce development has opened up opportunities for collaboration in education technology, remote learning solutions, and vocational training.
This session will highlight practical insights from education providers and tech innovators who are advancing remote and accessible learning models across the region. Attendees will hear from industry and government representatives actively working in the education space between the two nations.
With a rapidly developing healthcare sector, Indonesia is investing in solutions such as medical technology, telehealth, and modern hospital management systems.
This session will focus on how Australian expertise can support the evolution of Indonesia’s health infrastructure. Speakers will share firsthand experience in delivering innovation and navigating healthcare partnerships in the Indonesia-Australia context, alongside discussion on scalable models for future collaboration.
IndOz 2025 was made possible through the generous support of Partners and Sponsors who share the vision of fostering business and trade collaboration between Indonesia and Australia. Their ongoing commitment plays a pivotal role in creating an environment conducive to open dialogue, ideas exchange, and relationship building.
