One more important announcement is that we have increased the length of concept paper so that you can write it by maximum 1,000 characters now. Therefore, participants who already submitted their concept papers are able to revise or update their concept papers and resubmit them within the new timeline.

We will also be posting information about the Business Plan format that need to be submitted in case your concept papers got shortlisted. Please check our website and follow our twitter for the information.

We trust the new timeline and process will help you explore innovative, marketable and profitable business ideas and will contribute for Indonesian Entrepreneurship growth.

With best wishes,
