Build the Business Before You Build the Entity
A direct pathway into Indonesia's innovation ecosystem.
For Canadian companies, entering Indonesia should not begin with a cold start. AETS IP connects promising technologies to an established Indonesian institutional framework for assessment, local validation, adaptation and potential commercialization.
AETS IP starts before the entity decision is made. We help companies validate the opportunity, identify customers and partners, assess local fit and build a practical pathway to commercial revenue in Indonesia — so the legal, tax and market-entry structure can follow once the commercial foundations exist.

Performance under Indonesian agricultural, climatic, environmental and market conditions
Potential licensing, distribution, industry collaboration, investment or joint venture pathways
You do not have to enter Indonesia with only a product and a list of prospective distributors.
Through AETS IP's cooperation framework with PKHT-IPB, appropriate technologies can be considered for a pathway that may include technical assessment, applied research, local validation, field trials, pilot projects, adaptation, industry engagement and commercialization.
- Find a distributor
- Rely on sales claims
- Limited local technical evidence
- Adapt after entering the market
- Build institutional relationships from scratch
- Local institutional engagement
- Technical assessment
- Research and validation capability
- Pilot and demonstration pathway
- Adaptation to Indonesian conditions
- Connection to commercialization opportunities
Two stages, in sequence.
Legal, tax and market-entry advisors do essential work — company registration, structuring, compliance, employment and administration. That work matters once a company has decided to commit. AETS IP works in the stage before that decision, so the commitment is made on evidence.
Commercial Foundations
- Assess the market opportunity
- Identify customers and real demand
- Evaluate product and technical fit
- Coordinate local validation where needed
- Build commercial partnerships
- Develop a pathway to revenue
- Determine the most suitable entry model
Establishment
- Company registration
- Legal and tax structure
- Regulatory compliance
- Visas and employment
- Payroll and administration
- Accounting support
AETS IP does not replace legal, tax or regulatory advisors. We help companies build a business worth establishing — before those services are required.
What the AETS IP–PKHT Framework Covers
Applied Research
Scientific and technical assessment of relevant technologies.
Field Validation
Trials, demonstrations and pilot projects in Indonesian conditions.
Technology Adaptation
Assessment of solutions for Indonesia's climate, agriculture, environment and market.
Market Access
Connections to relevant industry, institutional and commercial stakeholders.
Technology Transfer
Potential pathways for knowledge, expertise, equipment and technical collaboration.
Commercialization
Potential licensing, distribution, business matching, investment or joint-venture structures.
Built specifically for cross-border collaboration
The AETS IP–PKHT cooperation framework explicitly includes Indonesia–Canada institutional and business collaboration, including commercialization, technology transfer, business matching and engagement with companies, institutions and government bodies.
Indonesia Is Too Significant to Ignore
Indonesia's scale, economic growth and development priorities are creating demand for practical technologies across agriculture, water, food systems, infrastructure, environmental management and industrial development.
Three forces converging into one commercial window.
The Need to Diversify
For decades, almost 80% of Canada's merchandise exports have gone to the United States.
Recent tariffs and trade-policy uncertainty have increased the urgency for Canadian businesses to develop new international markets and reduce concentration risk.
A New Trade Framework
The Canada–Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement is expected to reduce barriers, improve market access and create stronger conditions for trade and investment.
When fully implemented, approximately 97% of current Canadian exports to Indonesia are expected to benefit from preferential tariff treatment.
A Major Growth Market
Indonesia offers scale, increasing demand and access to the broader ASEAN region.
Its priorities align strongly with Canadian strengths in technology, sustainability, agriculture, water, infrastructure and innovation.
More Than Introductions
Canada–Indonesia Experience
Experience operating across both Canadian and Indonesian business environments.
Institutional Relationships
Access to government, universities, research institutions, industry and commercial partners.
Commercial Focus
Validation and partnerships are structured around market adoption and revenue opportunities.
Practical Execution
AETS IP helps coordinate the work required to move from interest to implementation.
Where We Are Focused
Have a technology with potential in Indonesia?
Tell us where your technology is today. AETS IP can help determine whether an Indonesian validation and commercialization pathway may be appropriate.
Specific research, validation, pilot, funding and commercialization activities are subject to separate evaluation and written agreement. The cooperation framework does not constitute automatic endorsement, approval or validation of any particular technology or company by PKHT-IPB or IPB University.
