Sonic, Sight, & Space: FUTURE of Indonesia's Creative Tech Industry

We are gathering founders from creative tech hardware to tech experiences to dissect the real-world hustle of R&D, building local, and making a living in the creative tech scene.

Expect no-nonsense advice and a realistic look at the industry.

followed by "So I Built This Thing," a hands-on demo of projects submitted to 97KoboLab over the past month. No pitch decks—just raw builds, messy code, and an open-source spirit of community over competition.
