What is the Tech in Asia Landing Pad?

Indonesia’s digital economy is more than just a series of impressive statistics; it’s a vibrant, fast-moving ecosystem where the right partnership can change everything. For Australian tech leaders, the opportunity is clear, but the path to entry requires a local heartbeat—someone who knows the people behind the platforms.

This past October, VentureSEA was delighted to join forces once again with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) to deliver the Indonesia Digital Transformation TIA Landing Pad. Our goal was simple: to move beyond standard introductions and create real, lasting connections for some of Australia’s most exciting technology pioneers.

How did VentureSEA prepare Australian companies before arrival?

Success in Southeast Asia is built on trust. That’s why our work began long before the delegation arrived in Jakarta. We spent weeks in one-on-one coaching sessions with firms like UnicornShift, PI.Exchange, and Sekuro, not just to polish their pitches, but to truly understand their “why.”

By the time the teams touched down, we weren’t just representatives; we were advocates who understood how their unique solutions—from cybersecurity to digital identity—could solve real problems for Indonesian businesses.

What happened during the Jakarta Landing Pad sessions?

On October 22nd, at the Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place, the energy was palpable. We facilitated:

  • 40+ curated 1-on-1 meetings
  • Targeted ~80% stakeholder confirmation rates
  • Focus on pilot potential rather than meeting volume

 

It was a privilege to see our delegates engage in candid, high-level discussions with:

  • The Financial Pillars: Teams from BNI, CIMB Niaga, and Bank Aladin Syariah.
  • The Innovators: Regulatory experts from BSSN and PPATK, providing the clarity needed to navigate Indonesia’s evolving compliance landscape.
  • The Industry Titans: Decision-makers from Kalbe Farma and MODENA looking for the next edge in enterprise tech.

A Firsthand Look at the Future: BSD City

To truly understand the “New Indonesia,” you have to see it in action. On our final day, we traveled to BSD City in collaboration with Living Lab Ventures.

Walking through the Biomedical Campus and visiting the headquarters of regional giants like Traveloka, our delegates didn’t just hear about smart city development—they felt the scale of it. It was a day of shared learning, networking over lunch at Jalarasa, and uncovering the “smart” infrastructure opportunities that only an in-person visit can reveal.
