"So there are already several startup candidates and investors who we have succeeded in 'matching', as the term goes. We will match it, God willing, if for example, some startups and investors are successful, we will launch a collaboration", said Fajrin, at the BUMN Ngopi event, Tuesday, November 8th.

"This startup and investor agreement will be held at the B20 event on Monday or Tuesday next week as a series of events for the B20 and G20 Summit", he continued.

Fajrin said, one of the startups that will collaborate with global investors is in the field of trade or commerce. Then, there is also the field of identification.

"Some startups are almost closed, some are in commerce in the field of ID, Identification, most likely, some are still in discussion, there has been matchmaking in the last 1-2 months. After that, startups and investors discuss more deeply, the numbers may not be launched too much", he explained.

"There may be further opportunities after that", he concluded.
