Bali’s investment in green energy has emerged as a central focus ahead of the Bali Economic and Investment Forum (BEIF) 2026, scheduled for February 18, 2026, in the Sanur area. The forum will coincide with the inauguration of the Bali chapter of Nawa Cita Pariwisata Indonesia (NCPI) for the 2026–2031 period.
Through this event, NCPI Bali aims to strengthen coordination between the government, investors, and industry stakeholders while steering investment toward long-term sustainability. Moreover, the initiative aligns closely with Bali’s development priorities, which emphasize environmental protection, cultural preservation, and balanced economic growth.
Against the backdrop of rising investment inflows and growing public scrutiny, BEIF 2026 positions itself as a timely platform to recalibrate Bali’s investment direction.
BEIF 2026 Bali Highlights Green Investment Agenda
BEIF 2026 Bali is designed as more than a ceremonial gathering. Instead, the forum serves as a strategic meeting point to connect policy direction with real investment opportunities. Organized by NCPI as the National Committee for BEIF 2026, the forum adopts the theme Green Investment as the Main Driver Toward Indonesia Emas 2045.
This theme reflects a broader national ambition while addressing Bali’s specific development challenges. According to NCPI Bali Chairman Agus Maha Usadha, the forum seeks to generate practical outcomes rather than symbolic commitments.
“Today, NCPI Bali met with the Governor regarding the inauguration and seminar of the Bali Economic Investment Forum (BEIF) 2026, which we will hold at the Sanur Bali Hospital Special Economic Zone,” he said. Therefore, BEIF 2026 Bali will focus on mapping concrete pathways for sustainable investment that support inclusive and environmentally responsible growth.
Bali Green Investment Gains Support from Governor Koster
Bali’s green investment has also received clear backing from Governor Wayan Koster. During an audience with NCPI Bali at the Bali Governor’s Office, the governor welcomed the plan to hold BEIF 2026 and confirmed his readiness to attend and officially open the forum.
Agus Maha Usadha expressed hope that the governor would play a more active role in shaping the forum’s message. “As Governor of Bali, he can offer insights on Bali’s future as a tourism frontrunner through BEIF 2026. In principle, the Governor has stated his readiness to attend and provide guidance and direction for Bali’s next steps,” he said.
In addition, NCPI advisory board member Gede Wiratha noted that the governor appreciated the initiative and its long-term outlook. “The Governor is preparing all infrastructure that supports Bali tourism, which will later be continued by his successors,” Wiratha said.
Sustainable Investment Bali and Zoning Challenges
Despite positive investment trends, sustainable investment in Bali continues to face structural challenges, particularly in terms of zoning and licensing compliance. Several developments have raised public concern after authorities found projects built in areas not designated for such use.
These issues have affected not only local communities but also investors who already committed significant capital. NCPI Bali advisory board member I Ketut Ngastawa highlighted this risk. “It is unfortunate. Investors spend significant capital, only to later discover that their developments violate zoning plans and face licensing problems,” he said.
Furthermore, Ngastawa stressed the importance of aligning investment with Bali’s guiding vision. “The current dominant trend is not building Bali, but building in Bali. If this is true, it clearly contradicts the vision and mission of Governor Wayan Koster, namely Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali,” he said. As a result, BEIF 2026 aims to encourage stricter adherence to spatial planning and regulatory frameworks.
Forum Brings Together Investors, Government, and Stakeholders
The Bali investment forum will bring together around 150 participants from government institutions, investors, business actors, academics, and community leaders. Through this diverse representation, BEIF 2026 seeks to foster dialogue and coordination across sectors.
Several key figures have confirmed their participation as speakers, including representatives from Bank Indonesia Bali, the Badung Regency administration, Bali’s investment authority, the Bali Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and private sector investors.
By assembling these stakeholders in one forum, NCPI Bali expects BEIF 2026 to function as a practical coordination platform rather than a one-off discussion. Consequently, the forum will help clarify Bali’s investment roadmap while identifying realistic opportunities and constraints.
Building Bali Through Responsible Green Investment
Ultimately, BEIF 2026 underscores a shared commitment to building Bali through responsible green investment. The forum reinforces the principle of developing Bali in ways that respect its environment, culture, and long-term economic resilience. By aligning investors with clear policies and sustainable priorities, BEIF 2026 seeks to reduce regulatory risks while strengthening investor confidence.
At the same time, the event highlights the importance of collective responsibility among government, business, and society. As Bali navigates rising investment interest, BEIF 2026 positions itself as a key milestone in shaping a more sustainable and balanced development path.
