New Ventures Indonesia will hold the 1st Investor Forum in Jakarta. In this event, environmentally sustainable and socially responsible small and medium enterprises sustainable that have passed the selection process and received mentoring assistance will present their business plans to investors and potential business partners.

 

The entrepreneurs we serve include early-to-mid-stage small and medium environmental enterprises in fast-growth sectors including, but not limited to, organic agriculture, foods and fibers, renewable energy, clean technology, ecotourism, etc. Through New Ventures activities in Indonesia, we aim to build a strong portfolio of profitable opportunities that meet social and environmental criteria to attract investment and fostering the emergence of new financial mechanisms tailored to support sustainable enterprises.

 

Globally, New Ventures has an excellent track record in assisting sustainable small and medium enterprises in emerging markets in improving their business plans  and strategies, leading to company growth and investment. At the moment, through our Investor Forum program we have been able to facilitate the transfer of US$12 million of capital to 20 companies in Brazil, Mexico and China.

 

New Ventures Indonesia recognizes the great potential that entrepreneurs have to transform emerging economies while at the same time protecting the environment and supporting communities and the natural resources on which they depend.

 

In the long run, New Ventures Indonesia aims to become a platform through which environmentally sustainable and socially responsible small and medium enterprises can enhance their management skills, core business competencies, and corporate images, among others.
