Indonesia mandates that tokenization is a part of this, and it is well on its way to becoming a leader in RWA tokenization. Among the pioneers of this thrilling new wave is Tokenize Indonesia’s accelerator program. Saison Capital, BRI Ventures and Coinvestasi are at the forefront of this push. Combined, they hope to liberate what an amazing $88 billion market potential by 2030. For startups hoping to land a round in the growing decentralized finance (DeFi) space, this program is the golden ticket.

What is Tokenize Indonesia?

Katalis is an accelerator program, built for innovators, by innovators, to cultivate innovation and drive widespread adoption of tokenized assets throughout Indonesia. It's not just about throwing money at startups; it's a comprehensive program that offers mentorship, resources, and networking opportunities to help early-stage companies thrive in the Indonesian market. The program is scheduled to take place from April – August 2025.

Indonesia’s aspirations are to harness this growth sustainably and drive financial inclusion. This is why we’re working so hard to make the adoption of digital assets move faster nationally. The program will focus on the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. It serves as a bridge between the established world of traditional finance and the emerging, fast-paced universe of Web3. This is particularly critical in Indonesia, where forests are key to combating climate change. The country is in desperate need of risk-reducing, more efficient, and broadly inclusive financial solutions.

The program’s organizers—Saison Capital, BRI Ventures, and Coinvestasi—add a deep well of experience and know-how. Their collective experience, resources, and networks give the participating startups a strong launching pad to increase their chances of success. This collaborative approach ensures that the program is well-equipped to navigate the unique challenges and opportunities present in the Indonesian market.

The program is grounded in a report highlighting an estimated $88 billion market potential for asset tokenization in Indonesia by 2030. That’s no arbitrary figure. It really signals this deeper demand for more efficient, transparent, accessible ways to manage and trade assets.

  • Huge Market Potential: This presents a massive opportunity for startups to tap into a rapidly growing market.
  • Increased Investor Interest: Such potential is likely to attract more investors to the space, providing startups with access to capital and resources.

This key industry showcase has become an unmissable opportunity for networking with investors, experts and potential partners from across the entire region. This provides a unique opportunity for startups to get in front of the right people, get exposure, and ultimately hope to attract investment.

  • Real-world Testing: Startups can test their solutions in a live environment, gaining valuable feedback and insights.
  • Industry Validation: Collaboration with established corporations like BRI and Telkom Indonesia adds credibility to the startup's solution.
  • Networking Opportunities: POCs provide opportunities to build relationships with key industry players, potentially leading to future partnerships and collaborations.
