Australian technology scaleups showcased a range of climate and sustainability solutions at the Global Sustainable Development Congress 2026 in Jakarta, highlighting opportunities to support Indonesia’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. The participating companies brought expertise in areas such as carbon accounting, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting, biodiversity intelligence, supply chain monitoring and optimization, and climate-focused payment systems. Their presence reflected growing cooperation between Australia and Indonesia in advancing sustainable development. The event also provided a platform for introducing innovative technologies that can help address environmental and economic challenges.
Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Rod Brazier emphasized that the green energy transition is a shared priority for both countries. He noted that Australia and Indonesia have established a strong foundation for long-term collaboration through initiatives such as Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy and KINETIK, the Australia–Indonesia Climate and Infrastructure Partnership. According to Brazier, these efforts are strengthening bilateral ties while supporting sustainability goals in the region. The partnership is expected to create new opportunities for cooperation in clean energy and climate-related sectors.
During their visit to Indonesia, the seven Australian scaleups explored potential partnerships to support sustainable economic growth and the transition toward net-zero emissions. Australia’s experience in ESG standards, carbon accounting, nature capital markets, and sustainability-linked finance was highlighted as a valuable resource for helping Indonesia achieve its environmental objectives. The companies are seeking opportunities to apply their technologies and expertise within Indonesia’s rapidly growing sustainability sector. Their solutions are designed to be scalable and adaptable to local market needs.
The program was organized through the Australian Trade and Investment Commission’s Landing Pad initiative, which helps Australian technology companies expand into international markets. Catherine Gallagher, Head of Austrade Southeast Asia, said the program aligns Australia’s capabilities with Indonesia’s national priorities and growing demand for sustainable solutions. The initiative provides market guidance, local business connections, regulatory support, and assistance in developing market-entry strategies. This climate and sustainability technology delegation marks the fourth Landing Pad program conducted by Austrade in Indonesia, reflecting the increasing importance of bilateral cooperation in green innovation.
