Google recruited the second batch of startups into its Launchpad accelerator program. It announced on Wednesday the names of six startups from Indonesia that made the cut, along with startups from Brazil, India, and Mexico.

The first set of young tech companies picked for the Launchpad started the program in January.

In June, the second round begins and will require representatives from each startup to travel to Mountain View, California, to participate in a two-week “bootcamp.” The mentorship continues remotely for six months after the startups return to their respective home countries.

Here are the six startups from Indonesia that got in.
