Jakarta, October 27, 2025 — The Tech in Asia Conference 2025, one of Southeast Asia’s premier technology gatherings organized by Tech in Asia with support from The Business Times, returned for its 14th edition at The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, drawing more than 2,500 participants from across the region.
Carrying the theme “Defy Expectations,” this year’s conference underscored the scale, innovation, and resilience of Southeast Asia’s technology-driven ecosystem. The discussions centered around how companies can sustain growth, foster innovation, and create long-term impact through technology.
In her keynote address, Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs (Menkomdigi) Meutya Hafid emphasized Indonesia’s strong position as the largest digital economy in Southeast Asia, home to over 3,000 startups as of mid-2025. The country’s digital sector recorded a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of USD 90 billion (approximately IDR 1,420 trillion) in 2024 — a testament to its robust market potential.
“One of the fastest-growing sectors is Artificial Intelligence (AI), now increasingly adopted across industries, from logistics to the creative economy. This growth must be managed wisely so startups can not only address market challenges but also ensure long-term business sustainability,” said Meutya Hafid.
