Context

Launched in 2016 by Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), the programme runs a five-stage funnel (Ignition to Incubation) coordinated nationally by KUMPUL across 17 hubs in 34 provinces, under a 'pentahelix' model with government, companies, VCs, universities and community organisers.

Results

Indonesia's ITU/WSIS Prize submission and the programme's own materials report more than 100,000 potential founders reached and more than 1,400 startups produced since 2016; an earlier published figure counted 584 startups from the 2016-2018 cohorts and 400+ active mentors.

Conclusions

No public data on startup survival rates, revenue, jobs created or follow-on funding raised was found, so downstream economic impact should be treated as self-reported and unverified; the programme provides no direct funding to participants.
