About the Conference

Indonesia sits at the heart of the global nickel industry, supplying over half of the world’s total output. As the backbone of electric vehicle (EV) batteries and modern stainless steel, nickel defines Indonesia’s industrial and economic trajectory. Yet this global leadership position comes with both immense opportunities and pressing challenges.

Market volatility is reshaping the landscape. Oversupply concerns continue to weigh on international prices, compelling producers to optimize efficiency, manage energy-intensive operations, and preserve profitability. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Downstreaming Policy 2025–2030, a central pillar of the national industrial strategy, is accelerating investment in refining capacity and advanced material manufacturing — redefining value creation along the entire supply chain.

Industry players face multifaceted pressures: high capital intensity in HPAL projects, rising energy and logistics costs, and growing scrutiny from global buyers demanding sustainable, traceable, and ethically sourced materials. As ESG compliance becomes non-negotiable, companies must adapt to carbon border adjustment mechanisms, global reporting standards, and green financing requirements to maintain competitiveness.

This conference serves as a high-level strategic forum where industry leaders, investors, government authorities, and international buyers converge to exchange insight, shape strategy, and strengthen partnerships. Delegates will gain access to exclusive policy updates, data-driven market forecasts, and actionable intelligence on technology, finance, and ESG integration — the critical levers defining Indonesia’s nickel future.
