The shared national vision—that in the future Indonesia will transition from a modest agriculture and raw commodity-based developing country into an advanced industrial, service and technology-based developed nation—has been contemplated for generations. During Suharto's New Order administration around 1970s to mid 1990s, the planning took form as Garis-garis Besar Haluan Negara (GBHN) or outlines of state's policy, aimed for Lepas Landas or "take-off" as the country gradually transformed into a new industrialised country. However, the 1997 Asian financial crisis hit Indonesia hard, which caused the economic contraction and crippled the development. Subsequently, the crisis sparked the unrest and reformation movement that led to the fall of Suharto regime.

In the several years following the turn of the 21st century, Indonesian economy has recovered, and the rising trends of economic growth and development continues. After 10 years, Indonesia has succeed weather the storm, transformed itself from a chaotic almost-failed state in 1998, into a thriving democratic society, also one of the strongest economy in Asia by 2007. This has led to a more optimistic outlook regarding Indonesian future. In 2009 Indonesia was admitted as a member of G-20 among world's major economies, thus become a sole representative of Southeast Asian region.[8]

In June 2013, in his speech in Bali, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono expressed his high hopes; that in the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia, the nation would rise to become a developed country in terms of economic, political, and social aspects, and also exercise considerable international influence in the region. He said; "I have a vision and a dream that in 2045 our economy will be truly strong and just, our democracy will mature, and our civilisation will flourish."[9]

Moreover, Indonesia is predicted to enjoy demographic bonus between 2030 and 2040,[10] that will boost Indonesian development towards vision 2045 as a developed nation.[11] By that time, the number of workforce or the population of productive age (aged 15–64 years old) is greater than the population of non productive age (aged at under 15 years and above 64 years old). During this period, the population of productive age is predicted to reach 64 percent of the total projected Indonesian population of 297 million.[10]

A model of N-245, Indonesia is also pursuing science and technology mastery, among others by developing its own aviation industry
