SBM ITB sukses menyelenggarakan Bandung Startup Pitching Day (BSPD) ke-11 di Bandung (1/7). Mengusung tema “Memberdayakan Masa Depan dengan Inovasi AI, IoT, EdTech, Teknologi Hijau, dan SDG”, BSPD 2025 berhasil mempertemukan 20 startup paling menjanjikan dengan puluhan investor ternama dari dalam dan luar negeri.

Sebanyak 20 startup terpilih dari berbagai sektor, mulai dari robotika, agrikultur cerdas, hingga pengelolaan sampah. Mereka mendapatkan kesempatan untuk memaparkan model bisnis mereka di hadapan investor terkemuka seperti East Ventures, BNI Venture, BRI Venture, Genesia Ventures, Init-6, dan Telkomsel Ventures. BSPD 2025 terselenggara berkat sinergi lima pilar ekosistem startup Bandung, yakni The Greater Hub SBM ITB, Direktorat Kawasan Sains dan Teknologi (DKST) ITB, Startup Bandung, Geek Hunter, dan Block71 Bandung.

“Melalui BSPD, Venture Capitalist (VC) yang lebih memahami perkembangan pasar dapat memberi feedback bagi kami. Harapannya, hal ini menjadi pengingat untuk terus keep up dengan kebutuhan VC dan memastikan kurikulum inkubasi tetap relevan agar mampu melahirkan startup yang siap tumbuh”, ujar Kepala Inkubator The Greater Hub SBM ITB Dina Dellyana dalam sambutannya. 

R. Sugeng Joko Sarwono, Director of the ITB Science and Technology Area Directorate, introduced the ITB Innovation Park as a strategic facility managed by the Innovation and Technology Development Center (DKST ITB) to accelerate startup growth.

“DKST ITB acts as a catalyst for the growth of technology-based startups by offering a supportive ecosystem that includes co-creation spaces, laboratory facilities, mentoring, and strategic networking to help bring innovative technologies to market,” he added.

The event concluded with an awards ceremony recognizing four standout startups. bubbME Mobile Game received the Most Innovative award, KawanBantu was named Best Pitch, Wattr earned the Most Impactful award, and BIKI was awarded Most Marketable.

With increasing enthusiasm from participants and stakeholders, Bandung Startup Pitching Day 2025 once again demonstrated its vital role in bridging technological innovation and investment access, while reinforcing Bandung’s position as a key hub in the global startup ecosystem.
