Jakarta

With the capital city of Jakarta being the center for business for the country, it was an easy decision to establish a Chapter in the special province in 2012 as there are plenty of opportunities for networking and engaging with key Australian organisations. AIYA Jakarta was AIYA’s first Indonesian Chapter and provides its members with exciting events to learn about Indonesia’s southern neighbour. To stay up to date with the Chapter and hear about exciting upcoming events, follow them on their social media:
