ISF 2025 Opens: Driving Investment for Sustainable Development

Jakarta, 10 October 2025 – Indonesia once again organized the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (ISF) 2025, a cross-sector collaborative platform aimed at promoting sustainable investment and accelerating the transition toward a green economy. The event, held at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) on 10–11 October 2025, is hosted by the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development, the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN).

ISF 2025 officially opened on Friday morning, 10 October 2025. Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan P. Roeslani, and Chairman of KADIN Anindya Novyan Bakrie delivered their remarks at the opening. More than 10,000 participants from Indonesia and abroad are taking part in the event, including government representatives, state-owned enterprises, business leaders, academics, global investors, financial institutions, and international organizations.  


In his opening remarks, Coordinating Minister AHY emphasized that sustainability should no longer be viewed as a burden or an added obligation for businesses. Instead, it must be positioned as the foundation for Indonesia’s long-term growth. 

“Sustainability is not just about protecting the environment. It is about how we grow, how our economy can become faster, more efficient, and cleaner at the same time. A sustainable economy drives progress without depleting the resources that support it. In this sense, sustainability is both a moral imperative and an economic strategy,” said the Coordinating Minister. 


ISF 2025 carries the theme “Investing for a Resilient, Sustainable, and Prosperous World,” and serves as a global forum as well as a concrete action platform to promote green, blue, and circular economies. Minister Rosan P. Roeslani highlighted the government’s focus on Waste to Energy projects, which will be launched in 10 cities during the initial phase, attracting interest from 192 companies. 


“Indonesia has vast renewable energy potential, nearly 3,700 gigawatts, including 3,294 GW of solar, 155 GW of wind, 95 GW of hydro, 63 GW of tidal, 57 GW of bioenergy, and 23 GW of geothermal energy. Yet, current utilization remains below 1%, or around 15.2 GW. This makes Indonesia a highly attractive investment destination for global investors with the technology and financial capacity to develop large-scale green energy projects,” Rosan explained. 


Meanwhile, Anindya Novyan Bakrie stressed the importance of collaboration between the private sector and the government in realizing an inclusive and competitive green economy. 


“To achieve Net Zero, Indonesia has an investment opportunity worth US$3.8 trillion, or about 4% of the cumulative national GDP from 2025 to 2050. We must not miss this great opportunity. The Indonesian private sector must lead in four key areas: accelerating climate transition through innovation and investment, mobilizing green financing, leveraging the vast potential of the national carbon market, and building skills and talent for future industries. This is not just a vision, it is a concrete roadmap toward Indonesia’s green economy. What matters now is how we execute it collaboratively and effectively,” said Anindya. 


The ISF 2025 program includes plenary sessions, thematic discussions, high-level dialogues, and an exhibition and science corner showcasing sustainable research innovations from leading Indonesian universities such as Universitas Indonesia (UI), Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), and Gadjah Mada University (UGM). One of the highlight sessions, the High-Level CEO Dialogue, is facilitated by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and attended by over 30 global CEOs from various sectors, including industry, energy, and finance.
