Jakarta, dkst.itb.ac.id – Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) participated in the grand event of the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (IISF) 2025. ITB's participation in the forum which will take place on 10–11 October 2025 at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) is fully supported by the Regional Directorate of Science and Technology (DKST).
In areas Science Corner, booth G5 ITB became the center of attention for visitors consisting of investors, industry players, academics and government representatives. ITB's presence in international forums confirms the commitment of educational institutions to actively contribute to accelerating the transition to a green economy.
At this exhibition, ITB displays three research and innovation products that are relevant to global sustainability challenges:
- Algatek: An innovation from PT Algatek Karbon Nusantara which focuses on the use of integrated algae and plankton technology Internet of Things (IoT) for carbon capture (carbon capture). This technology is also being developed for the production of biomass and algae-based derivative products for various industries.
- Cathode Material, Battery Pack, and Carbon Quantum Dots: The results of research led by Prof. Dr. Eng. Ferry Iskandar, M.Eng., from FMIPA ITB. This innovation is a crucial component in the development of efficient and environmentally friendly battery and energy storage technology.
- Long-Offset Marine and Land Resistivity Tomography: Advanced geophysical technology developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Eng. R. Bagus Endar Bachtiar N., from FMIPA ITB. This technology functions for accurate subsurface mapping, supporting natural resource exploration and sustainable geological risk mitigation.
IISF 2025 which carries the theme “Investing for a Resilient, Sustainable, and Prosperous World.” held in collaboration with the government and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN). This forum succeeded in bringing together global stakeholders to encourage real action in facing the climate crisis.
ITB's participation in this strategic forum is in line with the future vision and mission to encourage downstream research and reconcile campus innovation with industry needs. During the event, IISF 2025 succeeded in recording investment commitments worth a total of IDR 278 trillion through the signing of 13 memorandums of understanding (MoU) in various green sectors.
Through active participation in international forums such as the IISF, ITB not only introduces technology created by the nation's children, but also opens up opportunities for collaboration and investment to accelerate the use of these innovations for a more sustainable future for Indonesia.
