Indonesia undergoes rapid transformation to address traffic congestion, emissions, and multimodal transport integration, presenting a vast opportunity for investment and collaboration in urban mobility. With a population exceeding 270 million and accelerating urbanization, the demand for sustainable and intelligent mobility solutions is at an all-time high. The government has expected large-scale infrastructure projects, expanded MRT, LRT, and BRT networks, promoted EV adoption, and implemented intelligent transport systems (ITS) to modernize urban mobility. However, significant challenges remain requiring global expertise, technology, and investment to drive an efficient and sustainable transition.

With strong commitment and high-demand of a more sustainable urban development, Indonesia is fostering partnerships, EV manufacturing incentives, and smart city developments, to create high-value investment opportunities in the sustainable urban transport sector. The push for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and digital mobility solutions further enhances market potential for international players. By engaging in this forum, stakeholders gain to tap into Indonesia’s growing mobility market, insights into Indonesia’s policies, urban mobility landscape, and strategic priorities, while connecting with key decision-makers and industry leaders. This session is expected to leverage momentum to drive long-term, profitable, and sustainable investments in one of Asia’s most dynamic transport ecosystems, while activating opportunities for global and national stakeholder to contribute in the Indonesian mobility transformation.
