Help Transform the Coffee Trade Between Indonesia and Australia! 

Are you ready to lead a high-impact project that blends trade, inclusion, and regional cooperation?

Katalis is inviting proposals for a Bilateral Value Chain Analysis for Coffee under the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA). Indonesia is one of the world’s largest coffee producers, yet it supplies only around 3% of Australia's coffee imports. We're looking for a qualified firm to uncover the opportunities, map the challenges, and design a path for mutually beneficial trade and investment in this underleveraged sector.

This engagement goes beyond market research — it's a chance to drive inclusive economic growth, with a strong focus on gender equality, disability inclusion, and SME empowerment. You'll work alongside key stakeholders in both countries, deliver a strategic analysis, and host a high-level workshop that shapes the future of bilateral coffee trade.

Calling All PR & Marketing Firms: Help Us Bridge Skills Between Indonesia and Australia!

Are you a bold, strategic communicator ready to lead a high-impact international campaign?

The Indonesia-Australia Skills Exchange (IASE) — the first platform connecting Indonesian businesses with Australian Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) — is seeking a PR and Marketing Partner to take our post-launch momentum to the next level.

 Why It Matters Launched in February 2025, the IASE already hosts:

• 129 Indonesian businesses seeking world-class training solutions
• 50 Australian RTOs
• 336 training courses

Background of the Program

The DFAT-funded Knowledge Partnership Platform (KONEKSI) is Australia’s flagship program in the Indonesia knowledge and innovation sector. KONEKSI’s goal is to achieve an enduring relationship between Indonesia and Australia that advances mutual interest and supports Indonesia’s inclusive and sustainable development. The purpose of the program is to increase the use of knowledge-based solutions for inclusive and sustainable policies and technologies. This purpose positions KONEKSI as a vehicle to produce knowledge on complex socio-economic problems, where effective solutions are often beyond a unique sector or category of stakeholders. It will support both the knowledge to policy cycle (K2P) and the knowledge to innovation cycle (K2I), in a complementary and synergistic way. KONEKSI will focus on two End of Investment Outcomes (EOIOs): 

1.    Australian and Indonesian organisations have increased collaboration and mutual understanding through knowledge partnerships; and 
2.    Innovative solutions for inclusive and sustainable policies and technologies are generated by knowledge partnerships.
