Space Seed Holdings' Collaboration with IDX
On April 16, 2025, Space Seed Holdings Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, visited the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in Jakarta to discuss the advancement of local primary industries through biotechnology and the promotion of a sixth industrialization strategy. Collaborating with local partner PT. Awina Sinergi International, led by CEO Ananda Setiyo I, the initiative aims to enhance the value of traditional fermentation sectors, including palm-related industries and tempeh production, through the introduction of Japanese fermentation and microbial biotechnology.
This initiative has significant implications for sustainable industrial growth in Indonesia. The discussion focused on how to foster start-ups in agriculture and fermentation sectors, with a particular emphasis on preparing them for future IPOs. Utilizing IDX's support programs for start-ups such as the IDX Incubator, participants engaged in vibrant discussions about nurturing companies and potential pathways for growth.
The Current Landscape of IPOs in Indonesia
According to materials shared by IDX during the visit, the number of listed companies in Indonesia has reached 955 as of April 2025. Notably, IDX has established flexible listing requirements tailored to both emerging businesses and the traditional sector through initiatives like the New Economy Board and the Acceleration Board. These boards consider the varying levels of profitability and scale, opening doors for more businesses to enter the capital market.
Moreover, IDX provides incubation programs specifically aimed at companies in the biotech sector, including those that focus on fermentation and sustainable technologies. This alignment with Space Seed Holdings' efforts to envision the future of agriculture in ASEAN was reaffirmed during the meeting, emphasizing the potential for collaboration.
Future Prospects for Sustainable Industry Growth
Moving forward, Space Seed Holdings aims to leverage regional resources and biotechnology to create new industries in Indonesia. By deepening collaborations with financial and capital markets, the goal is to foster sustainable and self-sufficient local industries that can thrive in the global market.
