It's hosted by Bank Indonesia (BI) in association with KJRI Dubai, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Abu Dhabi, the Indonesia Investment Promotion Centre (IIPC) of the Ministry of Investment of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia.

The two-day Indonesian Investment Forum in Dubai (IIFD) 2023 offers various activities to embrace Indonesia's potential, including presentations of several investment project opportunities (IPRO), Indonesian Night in Dubai, featuring the IN2MOTION FEST modest fashion show, as well as the Indonesian MSMEs Exhibition.
