Diyanto Imam, Program Director of New Energy Nexus Indonesia, said the partnership is an “honor,” and will significantly contribute to the growth and success of the emerging cleantech space in the country.

“This partnership will provide invaluable support to clean technology startups, empowering them to thrive through comprehensive training, mentorship, and market opportunities – enabling more innovative minds to catalyze cleantech solutions,” he said.

The program will include training, workshops, and certification assistance for The Domestic Component Level (Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri/TKDN). Obtaining TKDN certification will increase startups’ visibility and enable them to join the Indonesian government’s e-catalog, which allows the government to be an early adopter of the startups’ products.

Through services such as business matchmaking and integration with the Directorate’s programs, NEX ID will also provide cleantech startups access to a broader market of industries eager to transition into green, eco-friendly operations. These startups will serve as crucial tools, assisting industries in their conversion to sustainable practices.

The partnership will run for two years, during which time NEX ID hopes to foster innovation in the cleantech industry and contribute to a sustainable future—in Indonesia and beyond. To learn more about opportunities for Indonesian startups, check out our website.
