The Team
Breaking Bread with Rural Communities
OUR VISION
EMPOWER individuals and communities for GROWTH by
providing a platform to develop SUSTAINABLE clean energy
solutions

OUR MISSION
Provide modern access to ELECTRICITY,
TELECOMMUNICATION, WATER and SANITATION to remote
areas using a portfolio of technologies deployed sustainably
using data-driven analysis to match each community’s unique
needs
Our Company
The Founders
One of the founders was the engineer who invented the innovative modular microgrid for Engie
backed Electric Vine Industries. Both co-founders have lead projects to physically inspect over
300 remote microgrids across Indonesia

The Core Team

Along with the founders, Inovasi’s core team have over 30 years of experience specifically in rural
electrification across Indonesia and South East Asia. The team members have worked with the
private sector, development agencies and the Indonesian government’s Ministry of Energy and
Mineral Resources under the Patriot Energy program and as members of the Renewable Energy
Acceleration Task Force.

The Company
Supporting our vision to empower growth for rural communities, our goal is to have over 1,000
Rural Growth Service Provider points across Indonesia. Anchored in basic infrastructure needs
such as electricity and telecommunication, our company identifies each community’s needs and
provide the appropriate technology and business model.

This means quality installations, scale-ups and servicing of customer needs from Energy Access,
Capacity Building for Productive Use of Energy, and boosting economic development.
