Indonesia, with its 270 million population, over 65 million MSMEs, and 77 million unbanked adults, stands as the ultimate frontier for financial evolution in Southeast Asia. The nation’s massive payments infrastructure processed over 16 billion transactions last year, and the government targets an ambitious 8% GDP growth. Yet, until now, there has been no dedicated annual global platform built around this historic financial transformation.
That changes this July. On 7–8 July 2026, Trescon will officially launch the inaugural edition of Finance 2045 at the Sheraton Grand Jakarta Gandaria City. Choosing Southeast Asia’s largest economy as the launching pad for this global conference series is a deliberate strategic move to position Jakarta at the center of global financial dialogue.
A Confluence of Finance and Frontier Tech
The high-octane, two-day summit will gather over 1,000 banking pioneers, visionary fintech founders, enterprise finance executives, institutional investors, and key policymakers. Co-located with the 47th Global Edition of the World AI Show, the combined event brings together more than 2,000 senior leaders at the intersection of capital, regulatory policy, and next-generation technology.
The agenda addresses core pillars shaping tomorrow’s financial architecture:
- The Next Frontier of Banking: Digital Banking, AI in Financial Services, and next-gen Payments.
- Inclusive & Sustainable Capital: Islamic Finance, Financial Inclusion, and SME Finance.
- Macro-Economic Drivers: Sustainable Finance and national growth mandates.
