Over the past few weeks, Bali has once again become a global stage and incubator for Visionaries, innovators, and changemakers to build, speak, collaborate, and leave a lasting impact.
Among them: Steven Bartlett, Founder of Flight Story & thirdweb, Host of The Diary of a CEO Podcast – the second largest podcast platform in the world

I AM Creation Summit – A summit for Conscious Leaders from all over the world
SDS Digital Summit – the Largest Ai. Commerce Revolution Summit in the world.
For locals, expats, investors, and international brands alike, these events are proof that Bali still commands the world’s attention attracting thousands of people from over 80+ countries.
Though a question for large percentage of companies or projects like these, especially those, from overseas can be: how do we move from being a visitor to a contributor to a positive force that remains after the conference lights dim?
That’s where PT Karya Lyfe Group – Gateway to Indonesia (for business) comes in.
Beyond Entry: We Do the “Landing”
Many companies know how to legally set up in Indonesia. But not how to integrate, engage, and grow in the local ecosystem. That gap is where many can fail.
Our specialty is post-market-entry support what I like to call “business landing.” We help bridge the gap between entry and real local traction. Our core services include:
- Strategic integration & partnership facilitation
- Cultural alignment (Tri Hita Karana) and stakeholder mapping
- Business matching & networking across ten priority sectors
- Visibility, authentic narrative, and media activation
- Support in navigating regulation, permits, and public-private sector strategy
In short, we ensure that a business doesn’t just enter Bali or Indonesia-at-Large, but becomes part of it.
Why This Matters With Real Examples
As mentioned over the past weeks, Bali hosted:
- Genius Future Summit 2025 featuring luminaries like Steven Bartlett and Roger James Hamilton (founder of Genius Group), Dr Saifedean Ammous (author The Bitcoin Standard) exploring AI, community, Bitcoin, and the future of entrepreneurial impact
- I AM Creation Summit 33 global and local voices converging to discuss culture, conscious leadership, transformation and innovation
- SVOlution Digital Summit the world’s largest AI commerce summit, with 3,520 attendees in Bali
I felt extremely honored to have supported these events behind and sometimes in-front of the scenes with a suite of services to meaningfully connect organizers with local stakeholders, guiding them through cultural protocols, sentiment, pitfalls whilst establishing local key partnerships and specific community collaborations.
This is the kind of work I personally love, as it ensures longevity, trust, and success in Bali’s unique ecosystem for forward thinking expansive and respectful people, companies or projects.
These events also validate something we share in common, a deep understanding that, Bali is a fertile ground for ideas and projects that shift humanity forwards.
The challenge is ideas can be fragile without alignment, local context, and people on the ground who actually care.
