INDONESIA – PT PLN (Persero) is set to host the second edition of PLN Startup Day 2025 at its headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Now in its second year, this event stands as clear evidence of PLN’s commitment to strengthening the energy startup ecosystem in Indonesia.
PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo emphasized that this event goes beyond just connecting startups with investors. It plays a strategic role as a catalyst for accelerating the nation’s energy transition.
“PLN Startup Day is a collaborative platform where stakeholders come together to formulate future solutions. It is here that innovation is born, grows, and transforms into a tangible movement that drives the progress of the national energy transition,” Darmawan stated.
He added that the event has recorded a number of significant achievements since its launch in 2023. Notably, more than 60 energy and technology startups have joined this community, with 20 of them successfully participating in incubation programs for early-stage development.
The program has also resulted in over 20 memoranda of understanding (MoU) and 10 business agreements between PLN and the innovators.
In this year’s edition, PLN Startup Day 2025 will feature a series of inspiring activities such as a showcase, pitch battle, business matchmaking, panel discussions, and networking sessions, bringing together around 350 participants from various backgrounds, ranging from representatives of ministries and institutions, large corporations, investors, universities, to startup founders from across Indonesia.
Through this event, PLN not only demonstrates its consistency in fostering a culture of innovation but also reinforces its role in creating an inclusive climate for energy and technology-based startups.
“PLN believes that the future of Indonesia’s energy is built through collaboration and innovation. Through PLN Startup Day 2025, we also support the hilirisasi (downstreaming of innovation) of government-nurtured startup innovations to encourage a sustainable energy transition,” said Darmawan.
