Artificial Intelligence Institute for Progress (AIIP)

AIIP brings together partners from government, industry, and the education sector for the development and adoption of AI in Indonesia. We are positioned and endeavor to represent Indonesia's AI sector's capability and grow awareness of our AI capacity with leaders in the field interests.

AIIP Phase 2 Cohort

​A unified program designed for AI-native startups ready to solve real-world problems through deployment-focused partnerships. Phase 2 sharpens our focus — fewer startups, stronger curation, and deeper engagement with corporate and government stakeholders.

What's New in Phase 2

One Cohesive Cohort  

No more split streams—just one focused batch of 10 startups, each selected for real-world readiness and scalability.

→ Mid-stage companies with proven tech and appetite to deploy.

Post Program Commercialization Support

Participants will receive first-look fundraising access and commercialization pathways with our corporate partners.

→ Sponsor visibility doesn't end at Demo Day—it leads into real deals

Strategic Partner Curation

We now prioritize corporate partners with direct AI mandates and decision-maker commitment.

→ Faster execution, deeper integration, and higher sponsor ROI.

Stronger Thought Leadership

We’re differentiating content between technical deep-dives and business/GTMs, ensuring clarity and depth for every stakeholder.

→ Sponsor-branded workshops will be more targeted, relevant, and high-impact.

Expanded Regional Scope

Participants may come from Indonesia, and across the region, opening up cross-border collaboration and regional influence.
