On 11 November 2025, urban technology innovators gathered in Jakarta for the Smart City Solution Tech Summit 2025. The event brought together Korean startups developing city-focused technologies and Indonesia’s growing business ecosystem. The forum created opportunities for founders to understand market needs, review policy structures, and explore cross-border collaboration.

The program was hosted by the Chungnam Center for Creative Economy and Innovation CCEI, an institution that supports Korean startups through market access and business guidance. Mega Prawita, Managing Director of KUMPUL, joined the judging panel to assess product readiness, market strategy, and each team’s capacity to build investment pathways that align with Indonesia’s context. Her participation helped the startups recognize regulatory challenges, user requirements, and social factors that shape the adoption of urban technologies.

The participating teams presented portfolios that reflect key areas of city development in Korea. Their technologies addressed sustainable mobility, energy management, environmental monitoring, public safety data systems, and digital services that support everyday urban functions. These focus areas show how mobility, energy transition, safety, education, and artificial intelligence play central roles in connected urban environments.

Assessing Market Fit for Indonesia’s Urban Landscape

Through judging sessions and technical discussions, the startups received feedback on the suitability of their solutions for Indonesia. Topics included device readiness, integration with existing infrastructure, and data governance. These conversations offered insight into how technologies can be applied at city scale while considering local social and economic conditions.
