Discover bold solutions transforming Indonesia’s plastics into circular economy opportunities —be part of the movement this IPPIN Demo Day.
In 2024, Indonesia climbed 7 Spots in Global Innovation Index. Building on this innovative momentum, IPPIN is supporting Indonesia’s top innovators to drive more inclusive, circular solutions to complex and urgent plastic problems.
Demo Day offers you a front row seat to witness innovation in action where innovators showcase bold new solutions to combat plastic waste.
