Korea Federation of Inno-Biz Associations Reports Indonesia ODA Results... Digital Transformation at 30 Local SMEs
134 Skilled Workers Trained; Local Private-Sector Partnership Launched
The Korea Federation of Inno-Biz Associations said on November 4 that it had held a briefing on the results of the “Indonesia Smart Factory Official Development Assistance (ODA) Project” at the Ministry of Cooperatives building in Jakarta, Indonesia, on November 3, presenting the results of the four-year project.
Launched in 2023, the project was a flagship industrial technology ODA initiative aimed at building a “self-reliant innovation ecosystem” that would enable Indonesia’s manufacturing sector to develop its own technologies.
Over the four years, the association digitally transformed production processes at 30 local small and medium-sized enterprises and cooperatives, and trained 134 skilled workers through programs in Korea and local training. It also established a smart factory education center at BINUS University, laying the groundwork for training local businesses and conducting demonstrations.
Domestic smart factory solution companies also made inroads into the local market. On that day, EMFOCUS, a South Korean software company, signed a two-year, $1.5 million (approximately 2 billion won) contract to supply a manufacturing execution system (MES) with local company PT. Internex Indonesia.
A local private-sector partnership was also launched to continue technology exchanges between the two countries after the project ends. The Indonesia Association for Technology Innovation in Cooperatives and SMEs (AVITEK KUKM) officially launched that day, and its inaugural chair, Professor Meliana of BINUS University, and Jeong Gwangcheon, chair of the Korea Federation of Inno-Biz Associations, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to promote the spread of technology between the two countries.

Chair Jeong said, “This ODA project is highly significant because it has helped complete a self-reliant ecosystem for Indonesia’s small and medium-sized enterprises while also laying the groundwork for Korea’s technology-innovative companies to enter global supply chains. We will work closely with the newly launched AVITEK KUKM to broadly expand Korea-Indonesia technology cooperation across the ASEAN market.”
