Jakarta, 2 July 2025 – Up to 15 early-stage climate and clean energy startups will
be eligible to win grants totaling IDR 1.6 billion (US$98,000), as well as mentoring
and access to investors under a new program to support innovation across
Indonesia.
The KINETIK NEX startup incubation program is led by New Energy Nexus and
supported by KINETIK, the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Climate, Renewable
Energy and Infrastructure.
Five start-ups will be awarded funding for a total of IDR 1.6 billion to pilot their climate
solutions.
The program will end with [RE]Spark, a clean energy and climate startup festival,where
selected startups from the cohort will pitch their climate solutions to potential partners and investors. Under the program, journalists will also be trained in climate and clean energy reporting.
The KINETIK NEX aims to support Indonesia’s pledge to reach net-zero emissions by
2060 or earlier. Climate startups, which are critical to solving local challenges with homegrown solutions, continue to face barriers in accessing capital, market
opportunities, and regulatory support. The initiative will prioritize women-led startups
and those based in Eastern Indonesia.
According to a recent Climate Policy Initiative report, achieving Indonesia's net-zero electricity target by 2060 will require renewable energy financing to increase more than five times, from around US$3 billion per year to approximately US$16 billion annually.
“Indonesia’s clean energy transition cannot succeed without empowering local innovators and ecosystem builders. Indonesia had huge clean energy potential, but fossil fuels still powered 80% of the country’s electricity. Through KINETIK NEX, we’re helping diverse startups to thrive and enabling local communities to drive clean energy solutions. This is about unlocking talent and ideas from every corner of Indonesia, and making the energy transition inclusive, equitable, and locally driven.”
