Katalis

IA-CEPA ECP Katalis (Katalis) is a bilateral, government-backed economic cooperation program supporting strong, sustainable and inclusive trade and investment between Indonesia and Australia. Established under the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), our goal is to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA for both countries in three ways: improved market access, increased two-way trade and investment, and inclusive economic growth in Indonesia.

We connect and partner with businesses in both countries across the commercial value chain to identify and develop opportunities. Katalis can explore feasibility and profitability and help progress commercial agreements. We work with business and governments to implement IA-CEPA and fully realise the wealth of complementary trade and investment opportunities available. Katalis complements existing Australian development activities, bringing a commercially oriented, bilateral, and gender and socially inclusive approach to everything we do.

Business, industries and other organisations can apply for support to develop market research; in-country networks; bilateral expertise, and undertake exchange and industry skills development. Our insights, technical advice, policy advocacy and skills exchange facilitate connections, overcome barriers, and align business, trade and investment ecosystems.
