The theme raised for this session is “Value in Impact vs Business: Capturing Business Opportunities Through Scaling Impact During Economic Downcycle”.&nbsp;

“JICA believes all three start-ups have great potential to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as climate change and food waste, and also scaling to larger business size. We hope that today's session will lead to partnerships between start-ups and you all, which will be significant to solving social problems in Indonesia,” said Takehiro Yasui, Chief Representative of JICA&nbsp; Indonesia Office, during the opening remarks.&nbsp;

83 attendees actively participated, including the investors, partners, governments, Indonesian startups, and media.

“The event is very enriching! I had the insights from both investor &amp; founder perspective about what to expect and focus on in 2023.
