New Asia Forum Aims for $30 Billion in Investments at Bali Debut

A new global platform for investment, capital formation, and economic partnerships, New Asia Forum, is set to launch in Bali, Indonesia, on December 3-4. The forum's inaugural event targets attracting 30 billion US dollars in investments for the New Asia region. It aims to connect long-term capital with the emerging economic opportunities shaping Asia's future.

Supported by Indonesia's state investor Danantara Indonesia and produced by Richard Attias & Associates, the New Asia Forum intends to serve as a global gateway to New Asia. The initiative seeks to link long-term capital with projects, partnerships, and policymakers capable of transforming regional visions into investments.

The shift in the global economy highlights Asia's growing influence, with increasingly interconnected and technologically ambitious economies driving future growth. Despite the Asia-Pacific region generating nearly 60% of global economic growth, it receives a disproportionately smaller share of long-term international capital. New Asia Forum aims to address this disparity.

Unlike traditional conferences, the forum focuses on transaction readiness, capital allocation, and project execution. It will convene heads of state, ministers, sovereign investors, and global CEOs to convert in-depth analysis into contractual commitments across eight strategic sectors, including energy, digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and agriculture.

The invitation-only event expects over 1,000 leaders and will feature more than 100 speakers. New Asia Forum plans to track commitments and progress annually, establishing a sustained platform for accountability and investment in the region.
