As a way to accelerate digital transformation, since 2016, the Ministry of Communication and Information of Indonesia (Kemenkominfo) initiated many programs to support the startup ecosystem.

In 2020, we intend to fill the missing gap in our startup programs, between the National 1000 Startup Digital Movement which targets founders in the ideation stage and Nexticorn (Next Indonesia Unicorn) which targets later-stage startups. Startup Studio Indonesia is a program for startups in the middle of the two stages. It is an intensive program for ​an early-stage startup​ to scale its business.

Through Startup Studio Indonesia, we aim to facilitate startup growth through a variety of supports. The program focuses on five things, product and team acceleration, validation of fundraising strategies, validation of growth marketing strategies, support for technology development, and sharpening business capabilities.
