Spark the Future: PLN as the Epicentrum for Energy Startups

Beyond Indonesia, PLN as the Epicenter for Energy Startups

PT PLN (Persero), is calling on startups across Asia to collaborate in driving sustainable energy innovation through its Connext Powered by PLN program. The program supports PLN’s transformation into a more adaptive and innovative energy company, striving for net zero emissions, while also strengthening its presence as an active player in the Asia-Pacific startup ecosystem to foster collaboration and growth.

To kick off this effort, PLN representatives visited Japan for a week in October 2024.

During the visit, the PLN delegation toured and visited several start-up offices involved in renewable technology, hydrogen and ammonia power generation, AI, semiconductor startups, which have the potential to enrich the process of clean energy transition and digital transformation of PLN in Indonesia. PLN also held one-on-one meetings with selected startups at the Google Campus to explore pilot projects and proof-of-concept initiatives.

A notable outcome of the visit was an MoU with Creww, Japan’s open innovation platform, marking PLN’s first international collaboration under the program. The partnership connects PLN to Creww’s network of 8,000 startups and 450 accelerator programs, paving the way for future collaborations with startups across the region.
