The final morning of the roadshow kicked off with the Bali Digital and Creative Industries Gathering.

Attendees were also given an overview of the latest technological innovations being developed by MAJA Labs.
Energy Transition:
Delegates made the most of their final day with site visits to PLN Bali and Pelinda Multi Terminal.
A subsidiary of the state-owned utility company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), PLN Bali is responsible for power generation and distribution on the island, while Pelinda Multi Terminal, a subsidiary of ports operator PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo), manages an LNG terminal in Tanjung Benoa, Bali. The site visits included a tour of PLN Bali’s EV charging stations, built to support the G20 summit in 2022, as well as the Pelindo’s LNG terminal at the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub.

Atlas Pearls is a Western Australian company with its primary operations based in Denpasar for over 30 years. The owners shared their business knowledge with the delegation, along with how they have become a part of the local Indonesian community.
In the afternoon, Western Australian Minister for Agriculture and Food Hon. Jackie Jarvis MLC and the delegation sat down to a networking and business luncheon at Balinese restaurant Mama San. Attendees sampled a specially curated lunch by WA chef and Mama San owner Will Meyrick, combining Indonesian flavours and WA produce.

Jackie Jarvis MLC highlighted the opportunities and benefits of incorporating Western Australian produce in Indonesian cuisine.
International Education:
Delegates toured the Institute Seni Indonesia (ISI) Denpasar, a higher education institution focused on the creative arts, with an aim to fostering meaningful connections between Western Australian and Denpasar education institutes. ISI Denpasar holds strong ties with the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), with the two academies previously collaborating on joint performances and workshops, as well as a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2020 to strengthen academic and cultural cooperation, conduct joint research and publications, and enable student and staff exchanges.
To mark the end of Indonesia Connect Roadshow 2023, delegates gathered on the Bali Hai II vessel, constructed by WA shipbuilder Austral. It was an opportunity for delegates to look back over the last 6 days and share their experiences and lessons learned throughout the roadshow. While the roadshow has drawn to an end, it is only just the beginning with new opportunities and collaborations set to develop between Western Australia and its closest international neighbour.
Invest and Trade WA would like to thank the delegates, their partners and all participants for making Indonesia Connect Roadshow 2023 truly an event like no other.Published on: 12 September 2023
