About

Indonesia Rising is an investment-focused media platform rooted in Indonesia and positioned for a global audience.

It began as the personal platform of Rusmin Lawin a space documenting his journey in investment diplomacy, strategic networking, and his long-standing commitment to positioning Indonesia confidently on the global stage. What started as a record of real negotiations, institutional engagement, and leadership reflections has evolved into a trusted investment intelligence platform for global stakeholders.

Today, Indonesia Rising delivers high-level insights on Indonesia and Asia, with a clear focus on:

  • Foreign direct investment (FDI)

  • Market entry strategy

  • Cross-border partnerships

  • Sector opportunities

  • Economic and policy direction

The platform reflects real-world experience shaped by direct exposure to national projects, engagement with decision-makers, and participation in global networks. Its perspective is not driven by headlines, but by access, execution, and long-term strategy.
