Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Indonesia is advancing its science, technology, and innovation landscape through both international partnerships and domestic strategic focus. In collaboration with the United States, Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has established ten pilot research initiatives. These collaborations involve universities, industries, and research institutions, targeting sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), space exploration, energy transition, and the downstreaming of critical minerals and rare earth elements. Domestically, efforts are being directed toward agricultural and food innovation. Discussions have highlighted the need for a risk-based funding system to transition research into market-ready technology. Additionally, there is an increasing focus on integrating AI into the food system to optimize planting and pest detection, though concerns remain regarding potential dependency on foreign-controlled technology. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-23: Indonesia focuses on agricultural innovation and AI integration Indonesia seeks to bolster food sovereignty by bridging the gap between agricultural research and commercialization through risk-based funding and managing the integration of artificial intelligence. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesia-focuses-on-agricultural-innovation-and-ai-integration ### 2026-09-10: Indonesia and U.S. establish 10 science and technology research collaborations Indonesia's BRIN has identified 10 strategic science and technology research collaborations with the U.S., covering sectors like AI, semiconductors, critical minerals, and space exploration. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesia-and-us-establish-10-science-and-technology-research-collaborations --- Cite as: Indonesia science and technology innovation development.
