About

The UK Landing Pad Platform is designed to support Indonesian startups and growth-stage companies to explore the UK market as an entry point to continental Europe, backed by the British Embassy in Jakarta. Selected participants will gain access to resources, mentorship, and a market visit to the UK for exclusive networking with government and industry players.

We Are Looking For

The UK Landing Pad is designed for ambitious Indonesian startups and innovative companies that are preparing for international growth.

• Ambition to grow beyond Indonesia

• Potential to create skilled jobs

• A roadmap for expansion

Have a Committed Founding Team

Your team consists:

• Founders are actively involved full-time

• Leadership is comfortable operating in English

• The team is open to mentorship and international collaboration

Have Clear Intent to Explore the UK Market

You see the UK as more than just a sales destination. You are considering it as a:

• Strategic partnership hub

• R&D collaboration base

Have Begun Building Financial Readiness

• Are generating revenue or close to revenue

• Have raised pre-seed or seed funding (not mandatory but preferred)

• Are preparing for future fundraising

What We Offer

A digital hub built for Indonesian founders

Access UK market readiness guides, onboarding tools, and expert resources — all in one place. No more piecing together fragmented information from across the internet.

The UK Landing Pad provides structured support to help Indonesian startups prepare for and enter the UK market.

Mentoring that's tailored to your stage

Work one-on-one with experienced mentors, industry coaches, and UK market experts who understand both the Indonesian startup landscape and what it takes to succeed in the UK. We help you pressure-test your strategy before you make any big moves.

Real connections, not cold emails

We help you build meaningful relationships in the UK ecosystem with investors, corporates, and partners relevant to your sector. Through Embassy and GEP networks, introductions are purposeful and context-driven, giving you a far warmer starting point than going it alone.

Practical support to set up in the UK

The logistics of entering a new market shouldn't slow you down. Through our GEP partnership, you get direct support on:

• Visa pathways, including endorsement for the UK Innovator Founder Visa

• Banking, support setting up a UK business bank account

• Tax, up-to-date information on the UK tax system

Why The UK?

The UK is Europe's largest tech ecosystem, valued at $1.1 trillion, home to 171+ unicorns, and the continent's top destination for venture capital. For Indonesian founders ready to go global, that matters.

It's where capital is deeper, investors are more experienced, and the networks are truly international. It's also where the sectors Indonesian startups are building in — fintech, AI, healthtech, climate tech, and deeptech — are already thriving.

But the UK isn't just a market. It's a strategic base. A presence there gives you access to world-class R&D, top-tier talent, and a gateway into Europe — all while lending your company the kind of international credibility that opens doors back home and everywhere else.

If you've proven yourself in Indonesia and you're ready for what's next, the UK is where that next chapter begins.
