On 21st April 2025, Fairatmos was once again honored to participate in PLN Startup Day, with Aruna Pradipta (Chief Commercial & Operating Officer) representing Fairatmos in a high-level panel discussion titled "Financing the Growth of Tech Startups for a Sustainable Energy Future in Indonesia."

• Moderator: Deahdre Syarizka (Lead Researcher, Tech in Asia)

Why Greentech Startups Matter

Greentech startups play a pivotal role in Indonesia’s journey toward Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060. They develop technology-driven solutions to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, improve energy efficiency, and decarbonize the economy. However, despite their innovation potential, they face key barriers—limited access to capital, long development cycles, and uncertain revenue streams.

Financing Challenges and Solutions

The panel discussed a range of innovative financing mechanisms essential to scaling cleantech ventures, including:

• Venture Capital and Private Equity

• Impact Investing and Green Bonds

• Government Grants, Subsidies, and PPP Schemes

• Crowdfunding and Corporate Partnerships

Building an Inclusive Energy Ecosystem

PLN Group, Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, has made a bold commitment to become the epicenter of local energy innovation through its flagship platform PLN Connext:

• Later-Stage Startup Collaborations for integration into national energy systems

• Early-Stage Startup Incubation to provide mentorship and access to pilot projects

PLN Startup Day 2025—under the theme "Powering Partnerships: Uniting Forces for Sustainable Energy"—successfully connected the startup community, investors, and energy stakeholders to accelerate green energy innovation.
