The Startup Studio programme followed the launch of other initiatives by the ministry to support the local startup ecosystem, including Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup and Next Indonesia Unicorn (Nexticorn).
In the latest edition of Nexticorn, Minister of Research and Technology Bambang Brodjonegoro explains how Indonesia wants to support startups differently in 2020. While previously, the task of working with startups was dominated by Kemenkominfo, starting Q4 2019, Ministry of Research and Technology (Kemenristek) will also take part in it.
“We are more upstream, responsible to create as many startups as possible. Kemenkominfo will be more on the downstream and infrastructure,” he said.
