We are honoured to announce the participation of Indonesia’s minister for tourism & creative economy His Excellency Sandiaga Uno as a keynote speaker at our upcoming Indonesia PE-VC Summit on January 12, 2023.
At the helm of the ministry, Sandiaga Uno leads policy formulation and implementation in the areas related to tourism, the creative economy and the digital economy. The creative economy, which covers 17 sub-sectors such as arts, design, and game development to name a few, is touted as a key growth driver for sustainable development and fostering the small and medium enterprise ecosystem.
Uno assumed office in 2020 at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic that grounded the travel and tourism industry. His priority has been to develop sustainable tourism by using technology as well as tapping into the country’s rich culture and travel experience offering.
One of Indonesia’s most prominent entrepreneurs, Uno is the co-founder of PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya Tbk, the biggest publicly-listed investment company in the country. He served as a president director in the company from 2004 to 2015.
Uno was elected as vice governor of Jakarta in 2017 but resigned from the office to run as a candidate for the vice president of Indonesia, alongside his running mate Prabowo Subianto, in the 2019 election.
Uno completed his bachelor’s degree at Wichita State University in 1990 and his master’s degree at George Washington University in 1992. In 2016, he received the title of Distinguished Research Professor in Residence from George Washington University.
At the Indonesia PE-VC Summit, the minister will speak on the topic – Leveraging the soft power of tourism & creative economy to generate alpha. He will share his vision and perspective on how investments in the soft infrastructure can boost the country’s GDP growth as well as generate multiples for investors and enterprises in the sector.
