The Island of the Gods has once again reaffirmed its position as a magnet for international events. Universitas Hindu Indonesia (UNHI) Denpasar is hosting the Global Hindu Business Conference (GHBC) 2026, held from July 10 to 12, 2026. This meeting serves as a strategic platform for around 350 global economic actors to shape a more ethical business future.
Carrying the main theme "Towards Dharmanomics: Designing the Future", the conference brings together delegates from ten countries, including Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, and the United States. The primary focus of the event is to integrate Dharmanomics values—an economic development concept that prioritizes sustainability, integrity, and shared prosperity—into modern business practices.
Dr. Ketut Jaman, Vice Chairman of the GHBC 2026 Organizing Committee, emphasized that this forum is designed not merely as a discussion platform, but as a concrete catalyst for cross-border investments and partnerships. In addition to panel discussions and business exhibitions, the committee also supports young talent by providing a special quota for hundreds of university students to interact directly with investors and international business leaders.
Economically, this event is projected to have a significant impact on Bali's tourism ecosystem and the MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition) sector. The synergy between UNHI, the Global Hindu Entrepreneur Network (GHEN), and supported by the Bali Convention and Exhibition Bureau (BaliCEB) demonstrates Bali's commitment to building a globally competitive entrepreneurial ecosystem while remaining rooted in traditional values.
The event was also attended by a lineup of influential global figures in investment and diplomacy. The presence of practitioners from around the world is expected to spark innovative initiatives that are not only financially profitable, but also bring positive impacts to the broader community and the global business network inclusively.
