Indonesia Can Become a Developed Country-But It's Not Guaranteed | Angelo Wijaya | TEDxUNS
In his TEDxUNS talk, Angelo Wijaya explores Indonesia’s potential to achieve developed nation status by 2045, emphasizing the need for strategic planning and collective action. While highlighting economic progress, including a GDP of $1.3 trillion and a declining poverty rate, he notes that the current growth rate of 4.9% is insufficient to meet the ambitious 8% target. He outlines four critical factors for success: cultivating high-skilled talent, integrating into global supply chains, leveraging advanced technology, and securing substantial capital investment. Stressing the urgency of sustainable development, he warns of climate change's impact and calls for innovation and responsible resource management to ensure long-term resilience. Angelo Wijaya is a distinguished professional specializing in International Political Economy, with a degree from Universitas Gadjah Mada. He was named UGM's Student of the Year in 2018 and ranked third nationally. Angelo began his career at the World Bank, working with the environment team, before transitioning to the International Finance Corporation to focus on ESG issues. Currently, he serves as a public sector consultant. Angelo has represented Indonesia at major international forums, including the Y20 Summit 2021, G7 Youth Summit 2023, and the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum 2024. He was also recognized as a Top 3 Indonesian Young Thought-Leader on Environment by WRI.
