Jejala Indonesia 2021 Japan webinar event: Addressing the Myth Surrounding Indonesian Startup Investment<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

According to research<\/a><\/span>, Indonesia<\/span> received the lion’s share of funds raised in 2020 in Southeast Asia<\/span> to the tune of US$2.7 billion<\/span>. The Indonesian Venture Capital and Startup Association (Amvesindo) data<\/a><\/span> also show that US$1.9 billion<\/span> has been raised by at least 52 startups as of September 2020<\/span>.<\/p>\n

These numbers are indicative of Indonesia<\/span> being one of the most promising country to invest in across the region. Hiro Kiga<\/span>, co-founder of payment solution company Wallex predicts that the trend seems to be in fintech and digitalisation for the offline economy. “Now it’s come to a point where the next segment of the offline users will be digitized. Also, anything that surrounds MSMEs such as logistics and last-mile deliveries would be interesting sectors to look at,” said Hiro Kiga<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Supporting for the startup scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the majority of the startups are based in Jakarta<\/span>, the trend is spreading out to other parts of Indonesia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“We are fully in support of the startup’s culture, and we will continue to develop programs and activities that will help spread the startup scene to more provinces other than Jakarta<\/span>,” said Indonesia’s<\/span> Director General of ICT Applications, Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan.<\/p>\n

The support for startup culture is evident in the series of startup-focused programs such as Gerakan National 1000 Startup Digital (1000 Digital Startups National Initiative) and Startup Studio Indonesia, in which the Ministry assists early-stage startup founders to create their MVP and achieve their product market fit by opening access to resources and connections to prominent and active startup founders and business opportunities.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Ministry is also promoting investment opportunities at the upcoming Joint Exhibition & Junction of Startup Landscape in Indonesia<\/span> or JEJALA ID, a matchmaking event for startups and investors.<\/p>\n

JEJALA ID is a multi-faceted event aimed at sharing critical information for investors such as the benefits in investing in Indonesia<\/span>, the most promising sectors, as well as success stories from Indonesia’s<\/span> startup scene.<\/p>\n

The entire event will run from October to January, with the first pre-event roadshow will be held online on October 29, 2021<\/span>, for Japan<\/span> participants and venture capitals (VCs), addressing “The Myth Surrounding Indonesian Startup Investment“.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keynote speakers from different companies will share their knowledge to help attendees gain insight to the Indonesia’s<\/span> startups ecosystem. Participants will also hear from other business luminaries, including Indonesia’s<\/span> Director General of ICT Applications, Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan; Hiro Kiga<\/span>, CEO of Wallex; Chendy Jaya, CEO of Imajin; and Italo Gani<\/span>, Managing Partner of Impactto.<\/p>\n

The main thrust of the event is connecting 30 well-curated, investible, early-stage startup companies to 30 foreign venture capital firms in each of the participating regions and countries, which are Europe<\/span>, Singapore<\/span>, Japan<\/span>, the United States<\/span>, and others.<\/p>\n
