Watch out Bandung – the Tech in Asia Tour is heading your way

Bandung, an Indonesian city known for its mild weather, will see things heating up with the arrival of the Tech in Asia Tour next week with a live pitch battle between the best local startups.

To kick the event off, our panel of investor judges Dondi Hananto, co-founder of Kinara Indonesia, Andrias Ekoyuono, principal at Ideosource, and Benny Liputra, an associate at East Ventures will engage in a fireside chat on how Indonesian startups can develop a killer strategy to expand regionally. Coupled with their own expert feedback, the session is bound to be chock-full of insights and a treat for the audience.

After, we’ll dive straight into the main action where the five handpicked startups vie to impress in a five-minute pitch each, followed by a Q&A session with the judges. With transportation, accommodation and a pass to exhibit at Tech in Asia Jakarta lying in wait for the winner, it’s safe to say there’s plenty at stake for the contenders.

Whether you’re from a startup, looking for a promising one to invest in, or just simply wanting to meet the local tech community over delicious local fare, we’ll be more than happy to have you join us. Get your free tickets to the Road to Jakarta Tour event here today, and we’ll see you in Bandung!
