Bali Tech Week opens in Sanur, with 13 events scheduled through 23 October

In brief: Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, Komdigi, opened Bali Tech Week at Bali Beach Convention Center in Sanur on 19 October 2026; the ministry says the programme brings together 13 events through 23 October, covering digital infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, games and technology businesses.

Choosing a session for the rest of the week

For developers based in Bali, the programme offers several distinct entry points. Indonesia Game Developer Exchange, or IGDX, is scheduled for 21–23 October. Its Public Pass covers the public areas across all three days, including the game expo and public conference sessions.

A hands-on option follows on 22 October: Build Your First AI Project, scheduled for 10:00–12:30 at Kura-Kura Bali in Serangan. The organiser describes it as suitable for people without coding experience. That venue needs to be factored into travel plans separately from the Sanur opening location. Sovereign Tech Summit, focused on digital infrastructure, is also scheduled for 22 October.

All times in the official agenda use Bali’s WITA time zone, UTC+8. The organisers flag that the schedule may change, so the current session listing is the place to confirm timing and location before travelling.

Conference tickets and business meetings have separate access rules

BTWCon is the main conference, and tickets sold through the Bali Tech Week website are for that event. Other organisers handle their own registrations. IGDX has a separate Public Pass registration, while Bali Capital Circle is an invitation-only dinner.

HUB.ID, scheduled for 20–21 October, connects selected startups with investors and companies. Its published startup criteria include operating in Indonesia, having a product launched at least 12 months ago, demonstrating commercial traction and having at least one Indonesian founder. Being based on the island does not by itself establish eligibility.

Komdigi reports that more than 900 formal meetings have been scheduled through HUB.ID. The announcement gives a planned meeting count; it provides no basis for treating that figure as completed meetings or signed deals.
