AriseConviction - The Evolutionary Growth of Digital Opportunities Introduces a New Era of Creator Economy.

The emergence of newer social media platforms encouraged the cultural and generational shift, where being a #creator is considered a viable and increasingly desired career.

For the purpose of clarity, there are 3 different kinds of creators:

- The Influencer - people with respected perspectives to influence
- The Teacher - or educators, are people engaged in teaching materials
- The Artist - or creators of stories, artwork, NFTs, etc

Indonesia’s creator economy is estimated to be valued at USD 9.15 billion in 2021 with a 72.9% growth rate compared to 2020. However, challenges for creators around financing, operations, and monetization still remains. Comparing it to the U.S market, there is still untapped potential of 81.65%.

There is still room for innovative solutions in this industry to optimize and amplify existing creators in terms of financials, operational efficiencies, and monetizations. These solutions can also be very niche to different types of creator categories (beauty, gamers, educators, etc.)

What type of solutions do you think can empower and amplify the creator economy in Indonesia?

This report is an update from our last supply chain report in 2019. We removed 387 startups from our last list of supply chain companies (didn’t represent supply chain or was too old) and we added 598 new startups to our list (startups we missed before and some new).

We updated our report to not only highlight how all supply chain startups build a competitive product by function, feature or use case; but we also showcase how each category has changed/evolved. This report is color coded to reflect changes, see how to read this report at the bottom of the executive summary.

For those seeing this report for the first time, we attempted to map the entire supply chain startup ecosystem (1000+ logistic startups). We then filtered these startups into 10 categories and labeled the top startups per category. We then looked through every startup to understand how they innovate by function, feature and use case. Having both a macro and detailed view of the ecosystem allows us to predict disruption within the supply chain ecosystem.

The Bloom of Agriculture in Indonesia: Yielding Next Gen. Agri Conglomerate Leveraging Tech Orchestration

Indonesia’s vast and abundant fertile soils make us a major global key producer of a wide variety of agricultural products, contributing to 13.45% of Indonesia’s GDP. Arise has witnessed the transformative potential of #agritech in Indonesia as a solution to the existing challenges in this industry.

The technology potentially can holistically transform across all agricultural value chains:

- Market Linkage - Farm Inputs
- Quality Management and Traceability
- Financial Offerings
- Supply Chain Tech and Output Market Linkage
- Precision Agriculture and Farm Management

These improvements can result in better profitability, higher efficiency, and improved productivity across crops, poultry, livestock, aquaculture, and forestry which is where Arise has positioned itself in the #AriseConviction to support Agri-Tech companies in the space.

Do you think improving agriculture production in Indonesia can lead to far greater exports?

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. 70% of its territory is the sea which supports over 3,000 Bony fishes and more than 850 sharks, rays, and chimeras. The fisheries industry employs about 12 million Indonesians which are 2.7 Million of whom are independent fishermen.

If we look deeper into the overall sea production outputs, the industry can categorize into three big segments:

- Shrimp: 1.38 MT (37%) - US$7.03 Bn (77%)
- Fish: 1.26 MT (34%) - US$2 bn (22%)
- Algae: 107 MT (29%) - US$0.16 Bn (1%)

As we can see, despite the similar volume, Shrimp represent a significantly higher $$$ proportion due to its nature of high-value products. However, Classic challenges in the multi-layer value chain, low productivity, and lack of financing hinder the archipelago Shrimp industry's $$$ Multi-Billion Dollar untapped potentials.

Thus, a tech-enabled solution that can immerse into farmers' culture and infrastructure will be a great fit. It will result in higher FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio), SR (Survival Rate), and Harvest, making it a killer flywheel for #Shrimp Farmers which is where Arise #AriseConviction will be to support MDI Ventures and other Major VCs investments in the other fishery category.

What do you think are other solutions needed by the #Shrimp #Fishermen?

A Similar trend is also emerging in South East Asia, taking the path of how conventional marketplace was adopted in the beginning and started the digital revolution in the region ...

Arise Conviction: From X2X to API Marketplace

In today’s economy, digital disruption is the new normal as the Internet has virtually transformed every segment of the business world. From OTT to P2P, digital disruptors have found new ways of distributing media, information, goods, and even wealth.

Venture capital (VC) has been a major driving force behind the success of digital disruptors as the funds provide much capital to reach a scale to disrupt incumbent players. In the US, disruptors such as Netflix, Amazon, Whatsapp, Airbnb and Uber had taken over much of their brick-and-mortar counterparts. In Southeast Asia, companies such as Go-Jek, Grab, Traveloka, and Tokopedia are doing much of similar effort to carve out significant market share in each of their respective sectors.

Established businesses will have no choice but to respond to these digital disruptors. Technology adoption can happen almost anywhere and at anytime. They must find ways to participate in this adoption or risk decline.

For over the last decade, telecommunication industry has been disrupted by multiple waves of technological advancements. It has happened with Whatsapp taking over significant portions of the voice and text market, with Netflix in premium video content and quite recently, high-profile mega deals such as Go-Jek, Tokopedia, and Traveloka has been marked as the beginning of local tech companies dominating the competitive landscape.

As the wave of digital disruptions are now ‘home-grown’, businesses need to reorganize and respond by launching similar digital initiatives to anticipate the upcoming innovation trends

In particular, industry convergence in financial services is accelerating as Indonesia’s ecommerce giants began to consolidate, and digital transformation is taking place in the financial services sector that requires banks and telecommunications companies to use mobile payment to engage customers that are embedded in the ecosystem.

This paper discusses the trend in Indonesia’s mobile payment from a number of perspectives and explores the reasons why some initiatives succeed and others fail. We believe this paper offers an extensive insight for those who would like to understand further about the current Indonesian payment ecosystem, and what would be the key success factors to win the competition.

**The disruptors are here to stay.**

 

Sincerely Yours,

Mobile Payments In Indonesia: Race to Big Data Domination

mobilepaymentindonesia.pdf

Telkom Indonesia has made a firm commitment to support the development of Indonesia’s startup ecosystem and corporate innovation. Via MDI Ventures, our corporate venture arm, we have set out the vision to bring the best of the world’s innovations into our rapidly emerging markets and expand our border to lead corporate open innovation in Indonesia.

Historically, telecommunication industry has been disrupted by multiple waves of technological disruption over the course of its existence. Telegraphy, once considered as one of main revenue streams in the telco ecosystem, completely lost its relevance after the introduction of e-mail. Fixed line telephone, once the core business of telecommunication companies, will also be completely obsolete in the near future. Today, we are the leading mobile connectivity provider in the country. However, we cannot stay comfortable with status quo. Digital revolution is changing the world and we need to keep evolving to stay ahead.

We set ambitious targets for our corporate transformation initiatives. Telkom Indonesia aims to be the country’s leading digital player by actively building partnerships with both startups and established companies. We are also seeing that the adoption of internet results in diminishing national boundaries. Being a forward-looking digital telco company, we do not want to see this as a threat, but rather an opportunity to grow larger than ever. This is time for us to mobilize our resources and lead the transformation by making strategic investments in the Asia-Pacific region’s fastest growing digital companies.

MDI Ventures has been working to establish thought leadership in the field of open innovation. The firm had expanded beyond investment activities to support corporate partners in solving the toughest challenges of the information age.

We are pleased to present you with our industry report on the state of Indonesia’s startup ecosystem, **“Bits by Bricks: Underlying Legacy Business as the Foundation for Digital Future”**.

On the behalf of Telkom Indonesia, thank you very much for your attention, and we wish that you find this information useful.

 

Sincerely Yours,

 

**David Bangun**

Director Digital and Strategic Portfolio, Telkom Indonesia

###### _Disclaimer: The essay is based on writer’s opinion_

I would like to start this post by disclosing my purpose of this essay.

I ruminate that the word “disruptive” has been highly overused—at least in Indonesia’s tech ecosystem—reaching a level that I personally despise it as more and more people treat it like a raunchy catchphrase. I used to mistakenly take that being disruptive is about bringing new age technology—which I think is how most startup founders and business stakeholders in Indonesia still perceive it. Most of the people in the scene trying to claim that they’re doing something disruptive by “redefining x”, “adopting the most advanced technology of y”, or combining it with other jargons (“machine intelligence”, “predictive learnings”, etc).

I met a startup about 2 years ago that is trying to create beacon/BLE-based solutions for retailers and advertisers. I thought that they have some potentials, until they’re calling themselves a disruptive IoT company (duh~). Good vernaculars for corporate pitches, until when it comes down to result, they’re dull as dishwater.

I would like to convey my thoughts on at least 3 things that make a technology products or services should be categorized as “disruptive”.

**1. When it democratizes the economics’ supply chain**

This type of disruptive technology is imminent in sharing economy startups, such as Uber and Airbnb.

What makes Uber and Airbnb great is that it brings liquidity into markets with an inelastic supply. In simple economics term, they democratize the supply side of the market by making it more skewed into perfect competition market structure. Today, everyone can be a cab driver and hotel host. Supply of cabs on hotel rooms that used to be inelastic (the number of cabs and hotel rooms are limited to the capacity of cab companies and hotel chains) becoming more elastic, and hence, with all things equal (ceteris paribus), reducing the price down, as it brings more quantity to the market.

A platform expert Sangeet Paul Choudary in his book “Platform Scale” manifested the concept of “changing business channels from pipes to platforms”. Platform companies are in the business of enabling interactions between supply and demand side of the market. The power that enable this kind of interactions and at the same time bringing more value for both sides of the market (higher availability in supply side, more affordable prices in demand side) is very powerful, and bringing a disruptive force to the incumbent players?—?all of whom are still struggling with their inelastic supply chain.

**2. When it changes businesses’ cost structures**

Cloud computing has definitely disrupted the whole enterprise software market. Products like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Dropbox are changing the landscape of how enterprises pay for their hosting and storage services, respectively. Instead of compiling a bulk of upfront costs for the initial outlays, using these cloud technologies, companies can pay for those same services in a monthly/yearly subscription basis.
