Indonesia Impact Ecosystem Mapping 2024: Report by ANGIN

Posted on October 20, 2024 | by David Soukhasing | Leave a Comment

This new report is brought to you by ANGIN

Introduction

The impact entrepreneurial landscape in Indonesia has emerged as a dynamic force and a vital contributor to the nation’s GDP and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Entrepreneurs form the backbone of this vibrant ecosystem, driving innovation, employment, and economic growth.

These organizations enhance the country’s economic landscape and foster a culture of creativity and resilience. Thankfully, these entrepreneurs are not alone on their journey. They receive support from various organizations assisting in numerous forms, such as knowledge, capital, and market access.

When ANGIN started back in 2012, this support ecosystem was very small. Since then, it has evolved significantly, becoming more complex and dynamic, with players constantly entering and exiting, driven by new backers, evolving missions, and their ability to remain relevant in this market.

At ANGIN, our goal is to bring clarity and solutions to this vibrant yet intricate ecosystem. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive mapping, we have embarked on a new mission to identify, understand, and highlight the leading organizations, initiatives, programs, and activities supporting the impact and social entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Through this report, we aim to provide a clear and detailed map of the entrepreneurial landscape, showcasing the initiatives that are driving change and innovation. By doing so, we hope to enhance collaboration, streamline efforts, and ultimately contribute to the growth and development of Indonesia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Report Overview

This report zooms in on some of the key players supporting the startup ecosystem in Indonesia that also contribute in paving the way for impact technology startups to grow. Highlighting the work from investors to service providers, these key players in the ecosystem are building the foundation for startups to make a positive impact through tech-enabled solutions.

This report use the term “impact” in a broader scope. Not only social enterprises deliver “impact” (i.e. achieve positive social and environmental impact through the business). “Impact” can be a vague concept and while social enterprises intentionally state that they are pursuing “impact” and have the duty to measure it. Some of these players that may be working in Impact Areas also contribute to achieving “impact” without stating it openly or with a capacity to measure it.

Disclaimer:

This report has been meticulously crafted by a dedicated team at ANGIN. It encapsulates the subjective viewpoints and insights of our team, honed through extensive interactions and continuous observations over the past years. The report delves into critical themes surrounding Indonesia’s social entrepreneurship and impact investment ecosystem, intending to serve as a foundational reference for enhancing understanding in this space. While we may not have included every prominent contributor and influential organizations, our primary goal is to highlight the stakeholders we believe to be the most actively engaged participants in the 2024 ecosystem.

Investors Insight Dinner Hosted by ANGIN and Indigo Telkom

Posted on June 20, 2024 | by Megan | Leave a Comment

Introduction

Indigo, Telkom Indonesia’s innovation incubator, recently hosted the Indigo Telkom Investors Insight Dinner, an exclusive event aimed at fostering connections between innovative startups and potential investors. This dinner, held at a prestigious venue, brought together a select group of entrepreneurs, senior investors, and industry leaders to discuss the future of technology and investment opportunities within the Indonesian startup ecosystem. Asides startups pitching there was also a notable presentation by Donald Wihardja, CEO of MDI Ventures on the topic of “How to Drive High-Value Synergies for VC’s and Startups”.

Growth and Scale: How to Drive High-Value Synergies for VCs and Startups

Special presentation delivered by no other than the CEO of MDI Ventures, Donald Wihardja, the chosen topic was Growth and Scale: How to Drive High-Value Synergies for VCs and Startups. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate venture capital (CVC) synergies offer unparalleled strategic advantages that can transform businesses. M&A synergies primarily focus on enhancing shareholder value by streamlining costs through shared services, acquiring cutting-edge technology for a competitive edge, securing better supplier pricing, and improving access to capital. Meanwhile, CVC synergies ignite corporate entrepreneurial activities and fuel innovation engines within the company. These synergies allow firms to explore new market niches, facilitate the exchange of valuable know-how, and elevate the core operations of the startups they invest in, fostering a collaborative ecosystem that drives success. Beyond the immediate benefits, leveraging networks and entrepreneurial ventures through CVC investments unlocks both financial and strategic value. For CVCs and parent firms, this means achieving impressive returns on investment, expanding market reach, gaining access to groundbreaking technologies, and leveraging existing services for enhanced innovation. Startups, on the other hand, receive crucial support in raising capital, bolstering their reputation, obtaining management advice, and accessing large-scale projects. These partnerships not only accelerate growth but also optimize resource utilization, mitigate risks, and align strategic goals, creating robust market credibility and a formidable competitive edge. In essence, synergy partnerships are the cornerstone of long-term growth and innovation, driving both startups and established companies toward a brighter, more successful future.

Pillars Of Collaboration

Investors Insight Dinner was designed to achieve several key objectives:

1. Showcase Innovation: We wanted to highlight the groundbreaking startups supported by Indigo. These startups span various sectors, including fintech, green supply chain and HRIS demonstrating the diversity and potential of Indonesian innovation. 2. Foster Investment & Collaboration: Create a conducive environment for investors to connect with promising startups, facilitating potential investment opportunities. The event aimed to bridge the gap between capital and innovation, enabling startups to scale and grow. 3. Networking Opportunities: The Indigo Telkom Investors Insight Dinner provided ample networking opportunities for attendees. Investors had the chance to engage with startup founders, learn more about their projects, and discuss potential collaborations. These interactions were facilitated by a relaxed and elegant dining environment, encouraging meaningful conversations and connections. The main attraction of the evening was the startup showcase segment. Selected startups under Indigo had the opportunity to present their innovative solutions and business models to the audience of handpicked investors from ANGIN’s network. These presentations allowed investors to gain firsthand insight into the potential and uniqueness of each startup.

At its core, WiNNER seeks to address pressing social issues by facilitating the convergence of social entrepreneurs and governmental bodies. By leveraging this synergy, the program aims to catalyze impactful solutions to the multifaceted challenges facing Indonesian communities.

The framework of WiNNER is intricately designed to empower social enterprises operating within the realms of seven priority topics, ranging from poverty reduction, to education and health. It empowers them to actively contribute to the enhancement of public services. This dynamic engagement spans across six provinces within Indonesia, providing participating social enterprises with a platform to showcase their innovative approaches and address critical societal concerns. Ultimately, this strengthens the efficacy and reach of public services within the designated provinces, such as:

1. Banten
2. East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)

Fammi

Fammi was founded on the premise of democratising affordable psychological interventions and educating families on the early detection of child behavioural issues.

WeCare.id

WeCare.id was founded on the premise that healthcare is becoming increasingly unaffordable to the masses in Indonesia, causing most Indonesians to be deprived of basic medical treatment. With such a vast disparity in the access of healthcare in Indonesia, WeCare.id aims to tackle this burgeoning issue by digitalising healthcare. Additionally, WeCare.id also collaborates with schools and medical institutions, allowing stakeholders to identify vulnerable groups in Indonesia, thus allowing them to tackle healthcare accessibility issues in a more holistic manner. Visit their website at https://wecare.id/

Impact Report Creation

To truly showcase the extent of dedication to impact that these startups have, there is no better way than to showcase it through an in depth impact report.

With the legal framework established by the Decree of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia No. 139 of 2023, WiNNER aims to drive public service innovation through entrepreneurship. Social enterprises play a vital role in bridging the gap between public needs and government capabilities. With initiatives like WiNNER, ANGIN hopes to continue to support the endeavors that push Indonesia’s enterprises forward.

Press Release: ANGIN to Advocate Seed Stages' Climate Solutions and Innovation at COP28 in Dubai

ANGIN, a prominent advisory platform catalyzing impactful climate actions, actively engaged at The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai which was implemented on 30th of November until 12th of December 2023. This two-week-long conference serves as a platform where global leaders, major businesses, and philanthropists strategize climate change and implement those strategies in the field.

COP28 is a platform dedicated to advocating climate financing, aiming to navigate and resolve the complex intersection of risks and opportunities. As ANGIN shares a parallel focus, we have actively participated in this conference. In our steadfast commitment to impactful climate actions, ANGIN underscored the paramount importance of collaborative efforts created in this event, among governments, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and the intricate relationships within off-taking, sub-vendoring, and regulatory support structures.

Brought to this prestigious occasion by esteemed partners, the Environmental Bamboo Foundation (EBF), and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, ANGIN proudly represented the UNFCCC Indonesia Pavilion. This recognition signifies ANGIN’s pivotal role as a pioneer advocating entrepreneurship as a solution to mitigate climate change in Indonesia. Saskia Tjokro, ANGIN’s Advisory Director, was invited as an investment and business expert to identify additional funding opportunities to support the successful implementation of the Indonesia’s FOLU Net Sink 2030 program in East Nusa Tenggara, part of Indonesia’s Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emission in the forestry and land use sector.

Having an impactful week in Dubai, Saskia was deeply engaged in the Blue Zone, the heart of the conference, participating in vibrant discussions spanning various thematic areas such as climate tech and circular economy. Her involvement extended to insightful forums and meetings, including the Community Empowerment for the National Energy Transition by Pertamina, Integrated Sustainable Bamboo Management for Climate Resilience by BSI-KLHK, and Voices of the Forest: Amplifying Local Knowledge in Climate Change Adaptation. Interaction was also established with key figures, including Indonesia’s Minister of Environment, the Climate and Land Use Alliance, and the Subnational Climate Fund, nurturing promising discussions for potential collaborations and funding support.

“Thank you to our valued partners for involving us, it is highly aligned with our commitment to supporting entrepreneurship as a climate mitigation solution in Indonesia. We are proud pioneers, spotlighting Indonesia’s innovative initiatives, focusing on sustainability and green entrepreneurship. We are deeply grateful and excited to be part of this opportunity!” said Saskia Tjokro, ANGIN’s Advisory Director.

As an advocate for Indonesian entrepreneurs since 2016, ANGIN feels privileged to have been brought to this prestigious gathering by our partners, offering us the opportunity to connect with esteemed climate change leaders. This experience further solidified our commitment to making a positive impact on our world. We had the honor of engaging with prominent figures such as Shinta Kamdani, Chairman of Asosiasi Pengusaha Indonesia (Apindo); Monica Tanuhandaru, Director of Environmental Bamboo Foundation (EBF); Siti Nurbaya, Indonesia’s Minister of Environment; and Zac Goldsmith, former Minister of State for Overseas Territories, Commonwealth, Energy, Climate, and Environment in England. The discussions focused on the pivotal role of social entrepreneurs in climate action and emphasized the crucial need for robust support, especially in the initial stages of their initiatives.

Through our representation at COP28, we are dedicated to enhancing our support for early-stage impact-driven solutions in Indonesia. Our commitment remains firm in advocating for private sector financing, capital mobilization, and staying informed about global climate challenges. ANGIN persistently advises and contributes toward a sustainable, carbon net-zero world. In particular, our INTRA program ensures ANGIN comprehensively addresses both supply and demand, striving to scale impact investment and entrepreneurship.

Our partnership with EBF at COP28 stands as a testament to our shared representation of Indonesia’s advancements in sustainable agroforestry practices. As we move forward, we eagerly anticipate the next steps, collaborating with EBF through workshops and focused group discussions to explore potential partnerships and secure funding support. This remarkable opportunity has been truly invaluable, and we’re deeply grateful and thrilled to have played a part in this essential initiative.

Sustainability Professionals in Indonesia: A First Showcase

Posted on September 4, 2023 | by Ignatia | Leave a Comment

This new showcase is brought to you by ANGIN.

Introduction

ANGIN team is glad to present to you: “Sustainability Professionals in Indonesia: A First Showcase”!

This showcase highlights 30 key individuals with extensive expertise in sustainability. We emphasize professionals from capital providers, with a further acknowledgment for those who contribute significantly to nurturing Indonesia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem through various ways.

Report Overview

As the Indonesian ESG and sustainability landscape grows, so does the demand for expertise. There is currently a large gap in the demand for sustainability professionals, and the availability of local talents. We are receiving weekly requests from investor clients, partners who are looking to develop their capacity and human resources in sustainability and therefore search for individual key talents to join this effort.

We are proud to always actively contribute in advancing Indonesia’s ESG and Sustainability efforts through impact-related capacity building, maintaining an active network of impact investors, and developing market intelligences regarding sustainability. We witnessed the success of our previous showcase and market landscaping (Checkout our report! : 66 People and Organizations Moving Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investment in Indonesia ) (Checkout our report! : 40 Women Leaders shaping Gender Lens Investment in Indonesia).

We thought providing, while not exhaustive, a comprehensive list of accredited individuals in the sustainability field would help everyone. Moving towards prompting a bigger interest in sustainability, our objective is to provide a tool where sustainability can grow its recognition.

This showcase is likewise an initial effort to inspire the new generation of workers to join the talent pool of ESG and sustainability. We aim to guide future talents who are interested through the past professional and educational insights of these figures, in hope to mimic their success.

Out of the 30 individuals we have shortlisted, we were able to extract some early learnings. This initial insight likewise prompted another report that will soon be published by ANGIN, regarding the gap between the sustainability job market demand and the readiness of the talent pool in Indonesia, and how improvement in Indonesian higher education can play a part, stay tuned!

This showcase was created by ANGIN team.
