Shaping our Future

Kura Kura Bali on the New ERA BALI Kerthi Road Map

In December 2021, President Joko Widodo graced the Three Mountains in Kura Kura Bali to kick off preparations for Indonesia’s G20 presidency and the official launch of the New Era Bali Kerthi Economic Roadmap. This was done together with Indonesia’s Ministry of National Development Planning and the Bali Government.

Bali will no longer be known as just a tourist destination. This “New Era Bali” concept is based on a green low carbon economy. The focus will be on increasing human welfare and social equality while reducing environmental risks significantly. Among the low-carbon economic programs are clean energy solutions, development of low-carbon transportation, bio-agriculture, sustainable management of water resources, zero waste. Also in the pipeline is the development of a Low-carbon Asian Business Centre as well as a Vocational

Low-Carbon Training Centre. Bali will pivot from tourism to attracting and nurturing global and local enterprises in Health and Knowledge, Digital, Green and Blue sectors, Sustainable and Blended Finance, Integrative Infrastructure and Quality Tourism Sectors.

Private sector solutions to deliver Bali Kerti Industries and business associations have a chance to come together and offer their support to build a better future, establishing the right priorities and helping the communities by providing jobs and economic opportunities while respecting rights and responsibilities. This business engagement is seen as critical to help achieve the Bali transformation.

Kura Kura Bali, an island project development, aims to be the prototype for this “New Era Bali for Better Indonesia and the World” on the road to the G20 Bali Leaders Summit 2022. We aim to partner with others, including competitors, critics, civil society and governments, to tackle big systemic problems which we cannot solve alone.

Our world is at a turning point. Knowledge, learning and education need to be reimagined in a world of growing complexity, uncertainty, and deterioration. At Kura Kura Bali, we know that learning and knowledge are the basis for renewal and transformation. This is why we have built a Campus before any other developments take place because we are convinced that education promotes social progress and transforms the world. Laying the foundation with creativity and care, we have built a Creative Campus that looks beyond the traditional purpose of education, a Campus that demonstrates how education relates to citizenship, providing growing opportunities for social mobility, economic development and equity. This is our vision of a campus that sparks solutions to global challenges and addresses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

A forward-looking vision of what learning and education might yet become, the UID Creative Campus will host events and use the convening power of Bali to attract talents as we co-create programs with talented people from all over the world. In addition, a TechPark will surround the Campus with an entire ecosystem of entrepreneurship and industry. It will also build on the culture of Bali, including its artistic and spiritual traditions. Connecting young people with mentorship, meaningful work experiences, and training benefits our communities and the world. That is why this work is so important.

Doing bold things, together

This November, we will be joining entrepreneurs, experts and leaders from around the world to explore various issues ranging from digital transformation to promoting inclusive social, environmental and economic justice that will shape future generations. We will showcase the innovation needed to shape sustainable futures in action, and we will honour the many contributions of the Balinese.

At some level, we are all connected. We share a common humanity. We are driven by the core idea that we can improve this generation’s and future generations’ lives together. The capacity to learn about each other and engage with different views doesn’t just open our minds and broaden our perspectives. We are proud to join leading innovation companies in announcing exciting partnerships which support technology innovation and Green Economy during these G20 side events at Kura Kura Bali. Along with all our partners, we all believe in a fairer and more inclusive world and are ready to work together to help address critical challenges. We hope that every step we take, we will gather other like-minded people to journey with us toward a sustainable future.
