Calling Indonesian App Devs! Telkomsel To Hold App Competition in September

Indonesian telco giant Telkom (NYSE:TLK) will hold a competition for mobile app developers this September in a bid to encourage local devs to build more Android apps.

According to Ivone Handayani, a representative of Telkom speaking to Antara News, developers can register via Flexi Market or the Telkom Store on September 2, then they can start building mobile apps. But the final product must be uploaded no later than September 9.

The winning apps will be announced on telkomstore.com. Telkom aims to publish the apps worldwide, not only to the Flexi Market and Android Telkomsel stores.

September is a busy month for Indonesian developers it seems. On the 13th, Facebook will hold its own hackathon competition for developers in Jakarta. And we here at TechInAsia are getting ready to host one in Bandung later in October.

[UPDATE: This post was updated on August 21. We changed the organizer’s name from Telkomsel to its parent company, Telkom. Apologies for the error.]
