Alongside Enterprise Singapore and in partnership with IMDA, Plug and Play also organises the GIA Demand-led Programme - Tech Showcase. This offers business and investment matching opportunities that allow participants to form new collaborations with Indonesian corporates.

The GIA Demand-led Programme will give technology startups and SMEs the opportunity to submit solutions to problem statements generated by Plug and Play’s network of corporates.

Typically run as a full-day Tech Showcase programme, the Jakarta GIA Demand-led Programme has been revised as a result of the situation brought about by COVID-19, and will now take place virtually, with various business matching sessions taking place within the span of 1 month.

The GIA Demand-led Programme consists of the following segments:

• Pitch Polishing

Successful applicants will attend a pitch polishing session to refine and improve their pitch delivery from established mentors. This segment will help participants better understand how to structure their pitches to address the problem statements of the corporates taking part in the programme.


• Pitching to corporates

The programme culminates in a corporate pitching session. Participating technology startups and SMEs can pitch their ideas to corporates and look forward to business matching and networking opportunities. This segment will be focused on matching participants and their technology solutions with corporates that have a corresponding problem statement to be addressed.

Who can apply

Singapore-based technology startups and SMEs.
