ABOUT BANGKIT FEST
Indonesia is facing uncertainty with an unstable economy, a growing talent crisis, politics seeking
trust, and declining public optimism. A national survey by @goodstats.id shows the Optimism Index in
2025 is at 5.51, a drop from 7.77 in 2023. The data reflects a nation at a crossroads, deciding whether
to stay in doubt or to rise with courage and collaboration.
Bangkit Fest 2025 was born from that spirit, the belief that optimism is not about ignoring challenges,
but about facing them together. It serves as a melting pot where government, business, and youth connect
to exchange ideas, share perspectives, and turn challenges into opportunities.
At Bangkit Fest, every conversation, performance, and collaboration is designed to spark courage and
collective action.
Connect with leaders and changemakers
from diverse sectors
Discover new perspectives through inspiring talks
and powerful discussions
Be part of a shared journey to reignite optimism and
co-create Indonesia's future
