The gathering of these\nstakeholders is intended to encourage the use of innovations in\nindustrial activity.

The programme will include not only plenary discussions and public\nlectures by Nobel laureates, but also project presentations, business\npartnership discussions and bilateral meetings involving policymakers,\nSOEs and foreign investors. Global technology companies, including\nGoogle and Microsoft, are among those expected to be represented. The\nparticipation of industry players and investors is expected to support\nthe exploration of partnerships addressing the needs of Indonesia\u2019s\nstrategic sectors.<\/p>\n
Danantara targets concrete partnerships<\/strong><\/p>\n Danantara Indonesia Chief Technology Officer and DTIIF 2026 chair\nSigit Puji Santosa said technology investment needed to result in\ninnovation being applied at industrial scale. In his view, the benefits\nof investment should not stop at developing ideas but must be translated\ninto productive capacity. In a statement on Monday (19 October 2026),\nSigit outlined Danantara\u2019s view of the relationship between investment,\nindustrialisation and competitiveness.<\/p>\n \u201cFor Danantara Indonesia, investment must drive the adoption and\nindustrialisation of innovation on a large scale. By turning\nbreakthroughs into real capacity, we can increase productivity,\nstrengthen competitiveness and create jobs,\u201d Sigit said. The emphasis on\ntangible outcomes is also reflected in the measures of success set for\nthe forum.<\/p>\n Danantara aims for the meetings to lead to investment partnerships\nbeing realised and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) being signed for\nconcrete projects after the event. Sigit stressed that follow-up was an\nimportant part of DTIIF 2026. Partnerships formed, agreements and lists\nof potential projects will continue to be monitored after the programme\nconcludes.<\/p>\n \u201cThe true success of DTIIF will be measured by what is built after\nthe Forum ends. Every partnership, MoU and project pipeline from this\nForum will be followed up, so that the commitments made can lead to\nprojects with a real impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n With this approach, DTIIF 2026 is intended to connect business\nmeetings with actionable investment opportunities. The realisation of\npartnerships and progress on projects after the forum will serve as\nDanantara\u2019s benchmarks for assessing the event\u2019s outcomes.<\/p>",
