New Asia Forum aims to mobilize $30 billion in investments for the region at its first event on Bali
The New Asia Forum, set to launch from December 3–4 on Bali, Indonesia, is a new global platform aimed at connecting long-term capital with investment opportunities shaping the next decade of Asian growth. The forum targets $30 billion in investments for 'New Asia' and will focus on eight strategic sectors including energy, digital infrastructure, agriculture, tourism, education, mobility, manufacturing, and trade. The initiative is backed by Danantara Indonesia (Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund) and Richard Attias & Associates. It aims to address the gap in long-term international capital flowing into Asia despite its significant contribution—almost 60% of global economic growth according to IMF data from 2025. The forum will feature over 1,000 leaders, more than 100 speakers, and 40 sessions. It is supported by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and aims to create a lasting platform for accountability and investment in the region.
