PT XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera Tbk, through XLSMART for BUSINESS, is once again presenting the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026. This annual forum brings together industry leaders, government officials, regulators, academics, and technology partners to discuss the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation in Indonesia.
Carrying the theme “Solutions for Corporations, Solutions for the Nation”, the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026 marks the second instalment since the XLSMART merger. The President Director and CEO of XLSMART, Rajeev Sethi, stated that Indonesia’s digital transformation requires more than just technology; it necessitates strong collaboration between the government, industry players, and technology providers to create relevant and impactful solutions.
“Through the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026, we aim to bring various stakeholders together to drive technology adoption that can strengthen industrial competitiveness and accelerate Indonesia’s digital progress,” said Rajeev Sethki during the BRAVO 500 Summit 2025 Press Conference on Monday (8/6/2026).
Sethi added that XLSMART continues to strengthen the connectivity foundation that serves as the backbone of this digital transformation. Currently, XLSMART’s 5G services cover 43 cities and regencies, with a target to reach 88 cities and regencies by the end of 2026. This expanding and high-quality network is designed to support businesses and industries in enhancing productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness through digital technology.
The BRAVO 500 Summit 2026 will host over 2,000 corporate leaders, regulators, academics, and technology partners to discuss the utilisation of AI, data, connectivity, and digital technologies. During the forum, XLSMART for BUSINESS will also introduce ESTA Prime, the latest development of the Enterprise Smart Technology & Automation (ESTA) platform, alongside various digital solutions designed to help industrial sectors accelerate digital transformation.
Andrijanto Muljono, Director and Chief Enterprise Business Officer of XLSMART, added that while last year’s BRAVO 500 focused on building a foundation for collaboration, this year focuses on presenting AI and data integration as solutions that can impact both the business world and Indonesia. “Through the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026, we want to strengthen the synergy between industry, government, and academia while encouraging faster, measurable, and sustainable digital transformation implementation through innovations like ESTA Prime and various strategic collaborations,” he said.
As part of the event series, the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026 will feature the Minister of Communication and Digital, Meutya Hafid, as a keynote speaker. Her presence underscores the importance of collaboration between the government and industry in accelerating national digital transformation.
Additionally, the summit will feature a main panel discussion titled “Will AI Determine the Direction of Business and the Nation?”, exploring how artificial intelligence will influence business strategies, public policy, and future national competitiveness. This session will be moderated by Gita Wirjawan and will feature several national leaders from various industries and government sectors, including Franky O. Widjaja, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, and Rudiantara, alongside strategic partners of XLSMART for BUSINESS.
The event will also include various keynote sessions, executive networking, industry breakout sessions, and showcases of the latest digital solutions and technologies designed to accelerate cross-sector digital transformation in Indonesia.
“Through the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026, XLSMART for BUSINESS reaffirms its role as a strategic partner in digital transformation, connecting technology, ecosystems, and collaboration to support corporate growth while accelerating Indonesia’s digital progress,” concluded Andrijanto.
Chief Enterprise Business of XLSMART, Feby Sallyanto, emphasised that the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026 was conceived to bring together various parties within a large ecosystem, involving not only Indonesian industry players but also international ones. He added that the event aims to accelerate digital transformation in Indonesia, noting that such transformation cannot be achieved by individual industries alone, but through the collective effort of the entire Indonesian industrial ecosystem.
“That is why we created this platform, the BRAVO 500 Summit 2026, as a meeting place for providers, regulators, and academics,” he concluded.
