JAKARTA - The Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) emphasized that the World Economic Forum (WEF) Davos 2026 is a strategic momentum for Indonesia to attract green investment and strengthen global cooperation in the sustainable sector.
Celios Bhima Yudhistira Executive Director was contacted in Jakarta, Tuesday, stating that the WEF Davos, Switzerland, 19-23 January 2026 is a strategic stage for the Indonesian government to market the energy transition agenda and green development to global investors, including international philanthropy. .
According to Bhima, the government can use the forum to open a dialogue with philanthropic institutions so that they are interested in contributing to sectors that have so far been underfunded, such as energy transition, forest protection, and health services.
"At the Davos event, the government can open a dialogue so that philanthropy is interested in entering sectors that have been underfunded. For example, philanthropy in the energy transition sector, forest protection to health can be invited to contribute," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 20.
Apart from philanthropy, Bhima assessed that global business actors present in Davos also showed strong interest in the roadmap for industrial downstreaming and Indonesian energy resilience.
The clarity of the policy direction is considered important by him to increase investor confidence in Indonesia's commitment to building a green economy.
In the midst of increasing global geopolitical uncertainty, Bhima emphasized that Indonesia needs to offer solutions through strengthening international cooperation.
He assessed that President Prabowo Subianto's presence in Davos should be utilized not only through the keynote speech, but also through bilateral meetings with world leaders and business actors to open up new export and investment opportunities.
Furthermore, Bhima said that the renewable energy sector and the battery ecosystem were the main opportunities for green investment that Indonesia could capture at the WEF forum.
However, he reminded the importance of ensuring that every investment commitment is followed up concretely so that it can be realized.
"The most important thing after the investment commitment is achieved is to form a follow-up team so that it becomes a realization of investment," he said.
For example, Bhima emphasized that investors' interest in floating solar panel projects needs to be immediately welcomed with concrete cooperation with related bodies, so that the green investment opportunities that arise in Davos do not stop at the mere stage of commitment.
President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to give a keynote speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
On the official website of the World Economic Forum, the special address from President Prabowo is scheduled to take place at 14.00-14.30 local time (CET).
