The development of Indonesian startups must be encouraged because it is a source of optimism and innovation. The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Ristekdikti) is committed to guarding the development of this pilot business through a number of empowerments.

One of the platform to empower is through the Indonesia Innovation Expo (I3E) that has been implemented for the past 3 years. This platform aims to support technology-based startups to start dealing with markets, investors, and wider stakeholders. Startups supporting by incubation programs will be better prepared and able to grow and become a source of new economic growth.

4 Inotek innovators called “Sanjo Health and Beauty Soap”, “Green Well Infiltration Wells”, Medium Fire Extinguishers (APAM) and Seleksys, participated in this exhibition for 4 days (25-28 October 2018) at Jogja City Mall. In addition to exhibitions, other activities include business seminars, startup talk shows, business pitching, competitions and clinics.

The impact of this activity is that Inotek innovators can socialize their products, market education and connect with prospective buyers & partners. In addition, the platform increase their business capacity to have competitiveness.
