Supporting the Focus on Sustainability, East Ventures Invites Aruna to the 2022 Tech in Asia Conference in Singapore

Bayfront, Singapore – On 21-22 September 2022, Aruna was invited to attend the Tech in Asia Conference 2022 in Singapore by East Ventures. The Tech in Asia Conference is a platform for technology founders, investors and executives to gain insights, connections and business opportunities in the digital age.

Aruna is one of Asia’s 200 newest technology innovators exclusively invited by East Ventures to showcase their products to thousands of conference attendees. Not only getting the chance to showcase their products at the central conference point, Aruna also has the chance to network with industry leaders, experts and decision makers across Asia!

On this occasion, Aruna shared stories about the principles of sustainability applied in business by making the main focus on coastal communities in Indonesia. Apart from that, Aruna also conveyed our tips for making a number of significant changes to their lives. Until now, having more than 36,000 fishermen who have joined Aruna, Aruna has managed to multiply their income 3-12 times when compared to their total income before Aruna’s arrival.

Willson Cuaca, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures, expressed his enthusiasm, “East Ventures is the first venture capital in Indonesia to sign the Principles of Responsible Investment which is also supported by the United Nations (UN). For this reason, East Ventures is committed to achieving sustainable development and having a positive impact on society. We also want to provide a stage for our portfolio which also has a main focus on sustainability. Tech in Asia Conference 2022 can be a good place to build connections and potential for collaboration.”

Utari Octavianty, Aruna’s Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer, said, “Aruna will continue to strengthen its presence by actively participating in activities that allow us to gain insights as well as connections like this. Not only cross-segment exclusive insights, geographical elements which also involve the importance of the concept of sustainability were also discussed in a series of events with Asia’s best investors and business initiators.
