Realising Dreams, Cahaya Hosts Indonesia 2026 Digital Finance Innovation Summit
Indonesia’s leading digital payment and digitalisation services platform, Cahaya, will host the Indonesia International Digital Finance Innovation Summit 2026 at The Westin Surabaya Hotel in East Java on 31 March 2026. Under the main theme ‘Achieving Success Together, Realising Indonesia’s Dreams’, the summit serves as a high-level industry platform focused on cross-border cooperation between China and Indonesia. The event will bring together fintech leaders from both countries, prominent investment institutions, representatives from leading companies, and policy experts to collectively discuss emerging trends in Southeast Asia’s digital economy, the development of cross-border payment innovation systems, and pathways for digital transformation among small and medium-sized enterprises. Of particular note, the summit will also serve as the stage for the first global launch of Cahaya’s AI SaaS intelligent business system product. Leveraging technological strengths and localisation from a combined China-Indonesia team, this product aims to provide integrated intelligent operational solutions for local Indonesian companies while promoting digital transformation in Indonesia’s business world. Cahaya’s core team hails from top Chinese and Indonesian financial and technology companies (such as Lakala, Meituan, and others) and is deeply involved in the development of the Indonesian Payment System (SPI 2025). Its services have reached over 91.3 million unbanked individuals and 6.29 million SMEs. The selection of Surabaya, known as the ‘City of Heroes’, as the venue is based on its position as a major trading hub in eastern Indonesia with strong industrial vitality. The summit will feature a series of events, including industry trend speeches, roundtable forums, product launches, and cooperation negotiation sessions, with the aim of building efficient communication bridges for China-Indonesia partners and jointly creating a new digital economy ecosystem in Indonesia.
