The program
The Business Accelerator Program Indonesia began in 2015, as an initiative from the Swedish Energy Agency to increase business involvement under our cooperation in and with Indonesia.
Supporting innovative companies during a two-year period, BAPI provides the participants with a roadmap on how to prepare for the Indonesian market as well as tailored activities and access to relevant network and insights.
Since the start, more than 20 companies have taken part in the program.
Cooperation agreements
The Swedish Energy Agency and the Secretariat General of the National Energy Council of Indonesia (NEC) signed a cooperation agreement in 2013. “The Indonesian Swedish Initiative for Sustainable Energy Solutions”, Insists.
The Insists cooperation led to some research based projects, e.g. between the Swedish Research Institute Rise (then SP) and University of Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta. Another larger project was performed by the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) on bioenergy. Several delegations of Indonesian decision makers from the NEC and other public officials also visited Sweden, taking part in educational seminars, study visits and discussions of deepening the cooperation.
The Insists cooperation was taken to a higher level when a Memorandum of Understanding between the Swedish and Indonesian Governments was signed by our respective Ministers for Energy in February 2017.
