SYSTEMS TRANSITIONS

Pulse Lab Jakarta Repositioning 2.0

Since our portfolio sensemaking in November 2019, much has occurred internally and externally. As we transition from being merely a "Big Innovation Lab" to becoming an "Analytic Partnerships Accelerator", we hope to play a more impactful role across Indonesia's ecosystem and beyond.

DATA ECOSYSTEMS

Tapping into the Value of Data for Better Lives
