No idea, but it's very nice. If I had to take a guess I would suggest the elongated-leaf version of F. elastica.

Also not 100% on I'd but perhaps either F. longifolia or F. maclellandii.  ( apparent species name on the tag below looks long )

It says on the plaque below, but I can’t read it clearly. Could be longifolia.

It might be a Willow Leaf Fig (Ficus Salicaria). If you really want to know, you can ask Jerry Meislik, he would certainly know. (Ficus Study Group on Facebook)

There are some Ficus Salicaria photos on his website as well:

I've a couple of maclellandii, full grown trees. Their leaves are narrow but fairly large. Don't know but I'd expect the leaves even in a bonsai to be larger.

It's difficult to make out the name in the photo but it could possibly be mislabelled. The epithet in the name ends in ".... folia" and doesn't start with an "l" (or any other tall letter). There are around 40 species with the epithet ending in folia. I could list all those species though most don't look similar. These are the closer of them.

 Ficus catappifolia
 Ficus cestrifolia
 Ficus citrifolia
 Ficus cotinifolia
 Ficus oleifolia
 Ficus ulmifolia

It could be written salicifolia on the tag, which sometimes is used as a synonim of salicaria...
