Business Opportunities

Expertise is available to support business opportunities that meet the following investment criteria:

Maximises commercial outcomes

Potential opportunities need to demonstrate that they will deliver a commercial outcome with a strong business case, and outline the potential return on investment.

Includes financial or in-kind co-contribution

Katalis prioritises commercial opportunities with financial or in-kind co-contributions from the business submitting the idea. When submitting your idea to Katalis, please provide details of your planned co-contributions.

Mutually beneficial to Indonesia and Australia and aligned with bilateral and/or regional interests
  • All business opportunities supported by Katalis must be mutually beneficial to both Indonesia and Australia, supporting ‘win-win’ bilateral commercial outcomes. When submitting your idea, please explain the planned direct and indirect beneficiaries, including if they are in Indonesia or Australia, as well as broader economic, social or public benefit (if any) you are expecting beyond the commercial outcomes.
  • The IA-CEPA particularly offers opportunity to deliver powerhouse activities, where the imports of one partner are used to strengthen the export competitiveness of the other partner. In your submission, you should also explain how your opportunity will target this, and increase bilateral and/or regional growth and prosperity.
Prioritises catalytic outcomes

Business opportunities must be a catalyst for growth. You should explain to Katalis how your opportunity is scalable, and whether it will crowd in other investors or traders from the sector or from related value chains.

Delivers gender equity and social inclusion

Business opportunities should ideally target, include, or make a positive impact on women, people with disabilities, or other marginalised groups.

Politically feasible and practical

Katalis can support policy and regulatory reform to help strengthen and align commercial ecosystems. In your submission to Katalis, you should consider if your opportunity is dependent on large policy or regulatory reform under IA-CEPA, and if this change is politically feasible or practical.

Reflects Indonesia and Australia’s comparative advantages

Business opportunities should reflect Australia and Indonesia’s comparative advantages, so you should explain what resources from each country your opportunity will draw on (e.g., human, industry, commercial, organisational, management, institutional).

All ideas are welcome, and will be assessed against Katalis’s investment criteria, as well as considering competing ideas, budget constraints, and guidance from both the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Australia.

Katalis will only consult with proponents of ideas that show the most potential, to develop and refine their commercial opportunity into an agreed activity to support its achievement. Following this collaboration phase, the opportunity needs to be agreed with Katalis management and Board, the Economic Cooperation Committee (ECC), which comprises representatives from the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Australia. Any opportunity agreed with Katalis management will either be included in Katalis’s annual work plans (finalised every December for ECC approval and implementation in the following calendar year) or else submitted “out of session” to the ECC for approval. Please note that Katalis is unable to provide detailed feedback on all aspects of submissions from proponents who submit ideas that are unsuccessful.
