Davos, January 23, 2026 - President Prabowo Subianto of the Republic of Indonesia introduced Danantara Indonesia to the global community in his keynote speech at World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. President Prabowo asserted Danantara Indonesia's role as Indonesia's strategic instrument to drive and support the future strength of the national economy.

In his speech, President Prabowo said that Danantara Indonesia means the energy that powers the future of Indonesia. Launched in February 2025, Danantara Indonesia is Indonesia's sovereign fund managing US$1 trillion in assets.

"With Danantara, I can stand here in front of you as an equal partner. Indonesia is now not only a peaceful and stable country but is more and more a land of opportunity. Once again, I emphasize that I am confident our economic growth will be very significant and will surprise many in the world. With Danantara, Indonesia is now ready to be your partner. We will invest together and grow with you," said President Prabowo.

President Prabowo stressed that Danantara Indonesia was established as a strategic instrument to realize the development of critical industries while also carrying out real and significant industrialization. Danantara Indonesia is managed with strong oversight and clear institutional responsibility, and is led by the best human resources. Currently, Danantara Indonesia manages around 1,044 state-owned enterprises (BUMN), which will be gradually brought down to around 300 companies.

"We will rationalize, we will get rid of inefficiency. We want the best governance and management in accordance with international standards. We want the best brains and minds in the world," President Prabowo concluded.

Danantara Indonesia Promotes Patient Capital and Global Partnerships

Meanwhile, at the WEF 2026 dialogue session entitled "Investors and the Patience Premium," Danantara Indonesia CIO Pandu Patria Sjahrir said that sovereign wealth funds now play an increasingly important role in the global financial system as a source of patient capital and low-cost capital.

According to Pandu, Danantara Indonesia was established with an approach that mirrors the practices of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, focusing on sustainable returns without pressure to exit in the short term, thereby enabling long-term partnerships in strategic sectors that have a broad impact on society.

Pandu pointed out that Danantara Indonesia applies an investment strategy that balances domestic and global markets with a focus on sectors that can improve the welfare of the Indonesian people such as health and digital infrastructure while strengthening international partnerships.

Pandu added that amid global geopolitical dynamics, international partnerships are becoming increasingly relevant and are being implemented with a more direct and focused approach. According to him, collaboration is now largely built through more intense bilateral relations and one-on-one dialogue to address the needs of each party.

"Business must go on. Ultimately, we all have to adapt, but the most important thing is that we must continue to move forward. And the only way to move forward is through partnerships," Pandu stressed.
