Trescon to Convene AI and Finance Leaders in Jakarta with World AI Show and Finance 2045

Following a strong run of global editions that have consistently brought together enterprise leaders, policymakers, and investors, Trescon announces the Jakarta edition of World AI Show Indonesia alongside the launch of Finance 2045, scheduled for 7–8 July 2026 at Sheraton Grand Jakarta. The co-located platform is set to convene over 2,000 senior stakeholders for two days of focused dialogue, partnerships, and commercial outcomes.

Indonesia’s rapid growth across artificial intelligence and digital finance sets the context for the platform. The country’s AI market is projected to exceed USD 10 billion by 2030, while its digital economy is expected to surpass USD 130 billion in gross merchandise value, driven by fintech, digital payments, and e-commerce adoption.

The Jakarta edition of World AI Show marks the 47th global outing of the series and will host 1,000+ business and technology leaders, 30+ sponsors and exhibitors, 40+ speakers, and 40+ media and association partners, structured across 4+ thematic pillars. The platform is designed to move AI from pilot to production, with a clear focus on infrastructure readiness, inference costs, data integration, and governance frameworks as enterprises look to scale AI across core operations.

In parallel, Finance 2045 makes its global debut in Indonesia as a dedicated platform for banking, FinTech, and enterprise finance leaders, bringing together over 1,000 attendees, including 500+ enterprises and SMEs, 300+ BFSI leaders, 100+ government policymakers, 100+ investors, and 40+ speakers to address capital flows, financial infrastructure, and market expansion across Southeast Asia.

The co-location reflects a growing convergence between AI and financial services. AI is now embedded across payments, fraud detection, credit decisioning, risk management, and enterprise operations, making financial services one of the most active sectors for large-scale AI deployment. Bringing both platforms together creates a single, high-value environment where technology providers, financial institutions, and policymakers can align on infrastructure, regulation, and execution.

Indonesia provides a strong backdrop for this convergence. With a population of over 270 million and a rapidly expanding digital economy, the country is scaling both AI adoption and financial inclusion at pace. Growth in digital payments, banking, and SME participation continues to deepen market activity, positioning Indonesia as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies.

Aligned with the Golden Indonesia 20245 (Indonesia Emas 2045), the national vision to become a high-income, digitally advanced economy by its centenary year, the platforms connect national priorities with enterprise execution. By bringing together key ministries, regulators, and industry leaders, it moves beyond dialogue to enable real partnerships, investments, and large-scale AI and financial transformation initiatives required for Indonesia’s growth by 2045.

The agenda across both platforms is built around execution. Discussions at World AI Show Indonesia will centre on scaling AI across enterprise environments, addressing infrastructure gaps, data readiness, and security, while aligning with emerging regulatory frameworks. Finance 2045 will extend the conversation across digital banking, embedded finance, tokenisation, SME financing, and sustainable finance, with a clear emphasis on investment opportunities and market access.

With confirmed interest from leading banks, FinTech firms, global technology companies, and institutional investors, the Jakarta edition is positioned as a focused, high-value gathering for organisations looking to enter, expand, or strengthen their presence in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
