IBC Pushes for Scalable Research Partnerships

On 9 April 2026, IBC joined a panel on diverse and inclusive research partnerships at the KONEKSI Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIE) Summit, hosted by Bappenas, BRIN, Kemdiktisaintek, and the Australian Government. The session, "The Value of Diverse & Inclusive Research Partnerships," carried a clear message: good research means little if it can't be implemented.

Speaking on the panel, IBC Director of Policy and Program Prayoga Wiradisuria stressed that cross-sector collaboration must be built with strategic execution in mind from day one, noting that "collaboration between researchers, government, and industry should be grounded in careful consideration of the replicability, scalability, and sustainability of the initiatives being undertaken." For IBC, this reflects a core conviction: bridging evidence, policy, and on-the-ground results, and ensuring ideas are tested against market realities and built to last.
