Indonesia Food Resilience Forum (IFRF) 2025
Uniting Innovation and Collaboration for the Future of Food in Indonesia
On December 3, 2025, Foundry Collective successfully hosted the highly anticipated Indonesia Food Resilience Forum 2025 at Soehanna Hall, Jakarta. Designed as a premier collaborative hub, the event aimed to unite policy, innovation, and investment to accelerate the nation’s progress toward a sustainable and secure food future.
A Gathering of Visionaries and Changemakers
The exclusive forum brought together more than 200 key leaders across the ecosystem. Attendees included government regulators, major industry players, prominent investors, and agritech innovators. Together, they gathered with a shared mission: to collaboratively formulate a national roadmap for food resilience and nutritional security.
Why This Event Matters Now
Indonesia stands as one of the world’s largest agricultural producers, supported by a workforce of nearly 30 million farmers. However, the nation is currently at the forefront of a massive global food system transformation where rising consumer demand, climate transitions, and rapid technological advancements intersect. IFRF 2025 was created to address these complex, structural challenges head-on.
Key Highlights from the Forum
Strategic Dialogues: The stage featured powerful insights from key figures, including opening remarks by Andy Zain (Founder & Chairman of Foundry Collective) and strategic national visions shared by Prof. Dr. Ir. Rachmat Pambudy, M.S. (Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas) and Prof. Dr. Ir. Bungaran Saragih. The consensus was clear: modernizing the food system and supporting cross-sector synergy is an absolute necessity.
Exclusive Report Launch: The event served as the official launchpad for a landmark research report, “Food Resilience through Innovation and Technology: Pathways for a Nourished Future,” compiled by Foundry Collective and DailySocial. The report mapped out critical investment opportunities and showcased how digital innovation can fortify Indonesia’s food systems.
A Unified Commitment to Action: Stakeholders at IFRF 2025 agreed that the opportunity to accelerate national food resilience is massive. The core takeaway from the event was that future success relies on tighter cross-sector collaboration, ensuring that every technological and policy breakthrough discussed at the forum translates into real, tangible impact on the ground.
With its abundant natural resources, broad farmer base, and growing technological innovation, Indonesia has a solid foundation for transformation. Through initiatives like IFRF 2025 and sustained partnerships, Foundry Collective believes we can build a resilient, inclusive, and globally competitive food ecosystem for generations to come.
