JAKARTA – Indonesian Venture Capital and Startup Association (Amvesindo) proudly served as a Supporting Partner for the Digital Transformation Indonesia Conference & Expo (DTI-CX) 2026. Held on August 5-6, 2026, at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) Senayan, the event gathered industry leaders, regulators, and innovators to discuss the future of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem.
Beyond supporting the event, Amvesindo actively contributed to the strategic discourse through three of its key leaders, who served as panelists across various specialized conference tracks. Throughout their respective sessions, all three delegates consistently brought a distinct venture capital perspective, emphasizing how technological readiness, security, and compliance directly impact startup valuations, investor confidence, and long-term scalability.
A Unified VC Lens:
Championing “The Maturation Map” Across all three panels, the Amvesindo representatives seamlessly integrated and introduced a critical regional initiative: The Maturation Map.
Launched collectively by top Southeast Asian venture capital associations (including Indonesia’s Amvesindo), The Maturation Map is a comprehensive regional governance framework. It is specifically designed to help startups and investors scale corporate governance, transparency, and digital trust organically as their businesses grow. By highlighting this framework, the panelists underscored that strong governance and secure infrastructure are no longer just operational burdens, but fundamental requirements for securing regional funding and achieving sustainable growth.
Here are the key highlights from Amvesindo’s participation across the event’s specialized tracks:
1. Alvin Evander on Integrated Digital Financial Platforms
