Healthcare Ecosystem Dialogue
We were delighted to co-host the Healthcare Ecosystem Dialogue on May 12, 2026, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss how strategic partnerships and ecosystem collaboration will play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare transformation in Indonesia. One of the key insights highlighted throughout the discussion was that innovation must extend beyond ideas. The real challenge lies in ensuring innovations can be implemented effectively, adopted at scale, and supported by ecosystem readiness, human capital development, and long-term collaboration across stakeholders. Indonesia is currently entering an important phase in its national healthcare transformation, aligned with the Ministry of Health’s Transformation Agenda 2025–2029. The agenda focuses on strengthening healthcare services, accelerating digital transformation, advancing healthcare technology, and building a more integrated national healthcare ecosystem, as highlighted by Prof. Asnawi Abdullah, Head of the Health Development Policy Agency at the Ministry of Health. Dr. Agus Heru Darjono, President Director of Bunda Medik Healthcare System, shared how RS Bunda Group approaches innovation not only as an operational enhancement, but as part of building a stronger and more integrated ecosystem for women’s and children’s healthcare. He emphasized that strategic partnerships are driven not only by technological capabilities, but also by shared vision, aligned values, and a patient-centric approach that creates meaningful impact for both patients and healthcare professionals. From the ecosystem development perspective, Mulyawan Gani, CEO of Digital Business at Sinar Mas Land and Managing Partner at Living Lab Ventures, shared how initiatives such as InnoLab continuously explore emerging innovations without limiting progress through rigid boundaries, recognizing that innovation continues to evolve. He also emphasized the importance of building ecosystems with adaptability and long-term thinking, reflected in BSD City’s long-term vision and the development of D-HUB SEZ, which integrates four sectors, including the future development of a medical precinct.

Beyond the sessions, conversations continued through a visit to D-HUB SEZ in BSD City, highlighting the growing importance of ecosystem-building in accelerating healthcare innovation and fostering long-term collaboration in Indonesia. Experiences such as these reinforce the shared commitment among industry stakeholders to shape a more connected and future-ready healthcare landscape across the Asia-Pacific region.
LLV – Investing in Healthcare: Navigating the Future of Healthcare Innovation in Indonesia
At SWN, we believe the future of healthcare innovation in Indonesia will be shaped not only by capital, but by collaboration across the entire ecosystem. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to support and moderate a session hosted by LLV, the corporate venture capital arm of Sinar Mas Land, on Investing in Healthcare: Navigating the Future of Healthcare Innovation in Indonesia. Together with Alfons Wijaya (VP Investment & Portfolio Management, LLV), the discussion explored a fundamental question: What will it take to truly transform healthcare in Indonesia? Some key insights from the session: • Healthcare demand in Indonesia is structural, not cyclical Indonesia accounts for nearly 40% of ASEAN’s healthcare spending, yet healthcare allocation remains at only 3–4% of GDP, highlighting a long-term opportunity driven by unmet demand. • Healthcare investing requires a long-term perspective Success in this sector depends on balancing clinical validity, regulatory readiness, and sustainable relevance. Many transformative innovations initially appear “too early” before becoming essential. • Scaling healthcare goes beyond replication As healthcare businesses grow, maintaining quality, trust, and consistency becomes critical. Longitudinal patient data will increasingly become a strategic differentiator. • Why Indonesia, why now? With a population of 285M+, growing middle-class expectations, and significant outbound medical travel, Indonesia presents strong demand for improved healthcare access and innovation. • Capital is increasingly flowing into technology-enabled healthcare Areas such as diagnostics, biomedical innovation, AI-driven drug discovery, early cancer detection, and preventive care continue to gain momentum as the industry shifts toward predictive healthcare models. • Collaboration remains the key enabler Healthcare transformation cannot be driven by investors alone. Progress will require alignment between government, private sector, healthcare providers, and global partners. Thank you to LLV, Alfons Wijaya, and everyone who joined the session and contributed to the discussion on the future of healthcare innovation in Indonesia.
Indonesia Australia Business Conference 2025
We were grateful to take part in the Indonesia Australia Business Conference 2025, held on October 30–31, 2025, joining business leaders, policymakers, and industry stakeholders from both countries for two days of insightful discussions and meaningful exchange. The conference brought together diverse perspectives on the evolving relationship between Indonesia and Australia, covering key political and economic developments as well as industry-focused discussions on digital innovation, healthcare, education, and resources. Participants also gained valuable insights from the Ambassadors of both nations, highlighting how business and government partnerships continue to evolve with shared purpose and long-term vision. Beyond the sessions, the conference created valuable opportunities to strengthen connections, foster new partnerships, and exchange ideas that support greater collaboration between the two countries. We left the conference with new insights, meaningful relationships, and optimism for the future as Indonesia and Australia continue building stronger cross-border partnerships. We look forward to continuing the conversation in Perth in 2026.
