ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA — Seven Australian climate technology scaleups are exploring strategic partnerships in Indonesia as Southeast Asia’s largest economy accelerates its transition toward a low-carbon future and its net-zero emissions target by 2060.
The initiative underscores Australia’s expanding commercial engagement with Indonesia, where demand for climate technologies, carbon management, ESG compliance, and sustainable finance solutions continues to grow amid the country’s energy transition.
The companies presented technologies spanning carbon accounting, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting, biodiversity intelligence, supply chain optimization, and climate-focused digital payment systems during the Global Sustainable Development Congress 2026 in Jakarta.
The delegation is part of Australia’s broader strategy to deepen economic ties with Indonesia under its Southeast Asia Economic Strategy while supporting regional efforts to accelerate decarbonization and sustainable development.
Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Rod Brazier said the green energy transition has become a defining pillar of the two countries’ expanding economic partnership.
“Australia and Indonesia are close neighbors, friends and partners, and the green energy transition is now a priority for both countries. Through Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy and KINETIK, the Australia–Indonesia Climate and Infrastructure Partnership, we have built a strong foundation for long-term collaboration,” Brazier said quoted on July 1.
During their visit, the Australian companies are meeting with Indonesian businesses, investors, government agencies, regulators, and industry stakeholders to identify commercial opportunities and establish long-term partnerships in one of Asia’s fastest-growing sustainability markets.
According to the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), Australia’s expertise in ESG standards, carbon accounting, natural capital markets, and sustainable finance can complement Indonesia’s climate ambitions while creating new opportunities for bilateral investment, technology cooperation, and innovation.
Catherine Gallagher, Head of the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) for Southeast Asia, said the Landing Pad initiative is designed to connect Australian innovation with Indonesia’s sustainability priorities.
“Through Austrade’s Landing Pad program, Australia is aligning our capabilities with Indonesia’s national priorities to accelerate the sustainability transition. Australian technology scaleups are well-positioned to respond to growing commercial opportunities with market-ready solutions,” Gallagher said.
The delegation marks Austrade’s fourth Landing Pad Indonesia program, which supports Australian technology and mid-sized companies expanding internationally through market intelligence, business matchmaking, regulatory engagement, and connections with prospective customers, strategic partners, and system integrators.
As Indonesia expands investment in renewable energy, carbon markets, sustainable finance, and industrial decarbonization, demand for advanced climate technologies is expected to continue growing.
The visit comes as Australia and Indonesia deepen economic cooperation in clean technology, innovation, and sustainable investment, reflecting the growing importance of climate-focused partnerships in the two countries’ broader trade and investment relationship. (AT Network)
