Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, is projected to become the world's 3rd largest economy by 2045, driven by its 280 million population, growing middle class, and booming digital economy (USD 130 billion by 2025). Key growth sectors include EVs, downstream mining, pharmaceuticals, and agritech, supported by energy transition commitments under JETP and NDCs.
The UK and Indonesia have opportunities for collaboration in higher education, vocational training, English-language teaching, and research. Indonesia's aspiration to join the CPTPP will ease trade flows, while the UK's Industrial Strategy aligns with Indonesia's role in global supply chains.
As the ASEAN region grows into the 4th largest economy by 2030, Indonesia offers a strategic gateway to a 660 million-strong market. Rising demand for sustainable and innovative solutions in Indonesia aligns with UK expertise in technology, clean energy, and services.
The UK–Indonesia Business Forum 2025 will deepen bilateral and regional engagement, with a focus on trade, investment, and green transformation, particularly leveraging opportunities in the UK's North East.
