Success stories

Katam

Katam, a Swedish software company, is transforming forestry management in Indonesia through digital solutions. Originally focused on Nordic markets, Katam shifted towards tropical forestry and identified Southeast Asia as a key growth region. Participation in the Swedish Energy Agency’s Business Accelerator Programme Southeast Asia (BAPSEA) enabled the company to build strong local relationships and conduct field-based engagement with forestry firms. Indonesia’s vast forestry sector and openness to innovation made it the ideal entry point. Katam is now establishing a representative office in Jakarta, hiring local staff, and preparing to scale operations across the region, laying the foundation for sustainable growth.

Primozone

Primozone, a Swedish company specialising in ozone-based water treatment, is making significant progress in Indonesia through the Swedish Energy Agency’s Business Accelerator Programme Southeast Asia (BAPSEA). Its technology replaces traditional chemicals with ozone, delivering faster reactions and eliminating harmful by-products, ideal for drinking water, wastewater and industrial processes. By joining BAPSEA, Primozone has launched pilot projects in three industries and identified a potential local partner. Indonesia was chosen for its rapid urbanisation and pressing water challenges. The next step is to secure a first installation as a reference project, paving the way for sustainable water management and future growth.
