World Artificial Intelligence Forum 2026 is an inaugural forum and exhibition connecting the people, technologies and opportunities needed to move artificial intelligence from discussion toward practical impact in Indonesia.
5 - 7 November 2026 · Sentul International Convention Centre
Inaugural Edition
2026
WAIF brings together government, industry, academia, technology companies, startups, investors, communities and international partners within one collaborative environment.
Across three days, the event connects conferences, industry showcases, startup and innovation programs, talent engagement and business matching to create a more integrated artificial intelligence ecosystem experience.
Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly across Indonesia, but many of the needs, capabilities and opportunities within the ecosystem still operate in separate spaces. WAIF creates a shared platform to bring them closer together.
Connect organizations seeking practical artificial intelligence implementation with technology providers capable of addressing real operational and business needs.
Create stronger access for startups, founders and emerging talent to prospective users, investors and strategic partners.
Bring research, innovation and technical capability closer to industry applications and commercialization opportunities.
Create a shared environment where government, industry, technology and society can engage around responsible and practical artificial intelligence adoption.
The first edition focuses on building a credible and relevant platform that creates clear value for participants, partners and the wider AI ecosystem.
Establish WAIF as a relevant annual forum where Indonesia's artificial intelligence ecosystem can connect, exchange knowledge and collaborate.
Encourage artificial intelligence adoption through practical solutions, applicable use cases and conversations grounded in business and public-sector needs.
Support business matching, strategic partnerships and connections between organizations with complementary needs and capabilities.
Create opportunities for startups, researchers, developers, students and professional communities to participate, connect and grow.
