Turning your ideas on climate issues into real impact
Southeast Asia is currently on track to experience a 3°C warming, which goes beyond the target set by the Paris agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This projection has significant ramifications for the worldwide market and the well-being of the Southeast Asian population.
The four tracks of Climate Impact Innovations Challenge
What will the world be like for our children if we fail to limit global warming to below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C? In the best-case scenario where the globe warms only by 1.5°C, a 10-year-old child in 2020 will experience four fold as many extreme climate events throughout the course of their life compared to a 55-year-old.

East Ventures launched a white paper on genomics in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia
East Ventures today launched a white paper “Genomics: Leapfrogging into the Indonesian healthcare future” in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and Redseer Strategy Consultants, to provide a comprehensive understanding of how genomics can improve the healthcare system in Indonesia. This white paper serves as a guide for stakeholders in taking the necessary steps to improve our healthcare system and infrastructure for the future.
Why Indonesia should embrace genomics now
Two of the most critical pain points of Indonesia's healthcare system is the high mortality rates for non-communicable diseases, and high cost of treatment. The solution to this is developing genomics. Genomics technology will allow for early detection and targeted treatment, paving the way ahead to transform our healthcare system.
The future is green: unlocking Indonesia’s renewable energy potential
Indonesia is rich in natural resources, including coal, which has been the traditional commodity used for energy generation. This blessing also makes transitioning to renewable energy more difficult than countries without such resources. However, the global energy sector has shifted to green energy, and now is the time to unlock Indonesia's renewable energy potential.
