For more than a decade, IndOz has been the independent cornerstone, and the largest annual gathering, of the Australia-Indonesia bilateral business networks. In 2025, we convened 600+ leaders from government, business, finance, and academia actively shaping the bilateral economic corridor. IndOz 2026 marks a deliberate shift. As bilateral trade reaches $34.83 billion in 2025, the opportunity is no longer in identifying alignment, but in executing bankable projects across infrastructure, agrifood, mining, education and digital systems. Indonesian demand is scaling rapidly, Australian capital and expertise are well positioned, and both governments are signalling execution over rhetoric.

This year's theme, "Beyond Dialogue, Making Deals", reflects IndOz's evolution into a platform where deals are scoped, partners are matches, and capital meets implementation.

About IndOz Conference

IndOz is an annual event focussed on driving connections between Australia and Indonesia. From its inception 14 years ago, IndOz has now grown into the Nation’s largest Indonesia-Australia business event. Last year, IndOz 2025 attracted a record breaking 611 attendees across both the Conference and Business Dinner making it the largest IndOz in the event’s 14 year history.

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.

IndOz 2025 Conference

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.

About the IndOz 2025 Business Networking Dinner

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 2026 Themes

Indonesia is the largest, and one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia. The Indonesian economy is predicted to be one of the world's top five economies by 2040 with significant investment plans and growing domestic consumption. These factors, combined with political stability, an abundance of natural resources, large workforce and growing middle class, makes Indonesia a highly attractive partner for Australian business, trade and investment.

The IndOz Conference program has been designed to provide attendees with an understanding of the Australia-Indonesia relationship at the bilateral and strategic level as well as the industry level, highlighting specific and tangible opportunities.

Together with the Conference theme, the program will be structured across the three sub themes of three sub themes of Food & Agribusiness, Energy, Mining and Critical Minerals and Lightning Speeches. Each sub-theme session will feature industry and government speakers well versed in the Australia-Indonesia market, then culminate in an interactive panel discussion. Sessions will be thoughtfully curated to ensure attendees are given the latest insights, practical tips and first-hand experiences from those operating in the Indonesia-Australia space. Below is an indication of the topics to be addressed within each sub-theme.
