MEKAR Earns Three International Recognitions for Advancing Sustainable Finance and Indonesia’s Real Economy

Hong Kong, June 25, 2026 – PT Mekar Investama Teknologi (MEKAR), an Indonesian financial technology (fintech) company focused on productive financing and sustainable finance, has once again achieved international recognition by winning three prestigious awards at the FinanceAsia Awards 2026 and the WRISE Volare Awards 2026. This achievement further strengthens MEKAR's position as one of Indonesia's leading fintech companies, delivering tangible impact to productive sectors and the real economy.

"These awards reflect MEKAR's commitment to redefining productive financing by creating meaningful impact for communities," said Pandu Aditya Kristy, Chief Executive Officer of PT Mekar Investama Teknologi.

At the FinanceAsia Awards 2026, MEKAR was honored with the Winner – Best Strategic Initiative – Nonbank Financial Institutions (Indonesia) award and received the Highly Commended – Biggest Sustainable Impact – Nonbank Financial Institutions (Indonesia) distinction. On the same day, MEKAR was also recognized as the Best Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Ecosystem Platform at the WRISE Volare Awards 2026, acknowledging the company's innovative approach to building a sustainable finance ecosystem.

These awards reflect MEKAR's transformation from a digital financing company into an integrated ecosystem that connects financing with productive sectors, creating measurable economic, social, and environmental impact.

Unlike conventional financing models, MEKAR has developed the MEKAR Ecosystem, which integrates businesses across financing, agriculture, renewable energy, and the food sector to sustainably support the growth of Indonesia's real economy. Through this approach, financing serves not only as access to capital but also as a catalyst for improving productivity, strengthening business resilience, and advancing sustainable development.

One of the key pillars of this ecosystem is Multi Micro Agriculture Financing (MMAF), an integrated financing model that combines productive financing with agronomic assistance, satellite-based land monitoring, market access, and partnerships across the agricultural value chain. By directly linking capital to production activities, MMAF enhances financing quality while helping farmers increase productivity, optimize land utilization, and strengthen the sustainability of their income.

Through its productive financing initiatives, MEKAR continues to support the growth of strategic sectors, including agriculture, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and waste-to-energy initiatives, while expanding access to inclusive financing. More than 80% of MEKAR's financing recipients are women-led MSMEs, reflecting the company's commitment to promoting financial inclusion and empowering local economies. Through its waste-to-energy initiatives, MEKAR also contributes to the development of a circular economy by converting agricultural and wood waste into value-added renewable energy.

"We believe the future of the financial sector goes beyond financing. By connecting capital to agriculture, waste-to-energy, and other productive sectors through the MEKAR Ecosystem, we aim to create meaningful impact for communities while supporting sustainable economic growth. These awards motivate us to continue expanding our ecosystem and delivering greater value for Indonesia," added Pandu Aditya Kristy.

Looking ahead, MEKAR will continue to expand the implementation of Multi Micro Agriculture Financing (MMAF), strengthen strategic partnerships, and leverage technology to accelerate the development of sustainable finance in Indonesia. Through its integrated ecosystem approach, MEKAR remains optimistic about continuing to serve as a growth partner for communities, businesses, and investors in advancing a more inclusive and sustainable Indonesian economy.
