PoliPoli Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kazuma Ito) launched the joint project 'FutureGen for Change' with the Indonesian non-profit organization Yayasan Pijar Masa Depan (Location: Jakarta, Indonesia, Representative Director: Cazadira Fediva Tamzil, hereafter Pijar Foundation) and conducted a one-year demonstration experiment.
Of the six selected companies, two utilized the donation fund 'Policy Fund' operated by PoliPoli to connect startup solutions with the government, thereby building a model for sustainable social implementation.
## Background and Purpose of Implementation
The challenges faced by modern society are complex, making it difficult to solve them solely through the power of administration (government and local municipalities). Therefore, cooperation with private organizations such as startups and NPOs is indispensable.
PoliPoli has aimed to spread the 'mechanism of solving social issues together by the public and private sectors (public-private partnership)' in Southeast Asian (ASEAN) countries by utilizing the know-how of 'co-creating policies with everyone' accumulated in Japan. This project aims to act as a bridge connecting Japan and Southeast Asia, creating a positive cycle that reflects the results of problem-solving (demonstration experiments) in the field into policy discussions.
## About This Project
'FutureGen for Change' is a project tackling social issues such as healthcare and climate change faced by Southeast Asia. It supports the realization and dissemination of problem-solving measures by leveraging the innovative ideas and technologies held by startups and NPOs.
Over the course of about one year from December 2024 to December 2025, the following initiatives were rolled out mainly in three cities in Indonesia (Bogor, Semarang, and Palembang).
1. Policy collaboration with Indonesian local governments: Discussions to connect field solutions to institutional systems
2. Acceleration & community building: Mentoring and network provision for social entrepreneurs
3. Hosting Demo Days: Creating pitch opportunities for investors and policymakers
