In its five-year journey, Innovillage has engaged over 8,800 students from more than 100 universities and supported the implementation of more than 670 projects across various sectors. Behind these numbers are real stories of change about how digital-based innovations have made a difference in local communities. In a remote village in Bengkayang, West Kalimantan, students brought light to the community by building a micro-hydro power plant, transforming the flow of the river into a sustainable source of electricity. In Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, students introduced a smart farming solution to support local farmers, enabling better crop management and improved yields through digital technology. In Sugiale Village, Bone, a group of students developed a digital solution to improve local waste management , making it easier for communities to sort, track, and dispose of waste more efficiently. In Japan Village, Mojokerto, another team developed a digital platform to monitor stunting in toddlers and helping local health workers track child growth and intervene early with the right support. More than just solving problems, these student-led innovations are shaping a future ready generation equipped with the skills, empathy, and mindset to lead meaningful change.

Riva Rizkiana Ramadhani, team leader of Aither from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya, shared her experience: “On behalf of Team Aither from ITS, I sincerely thank Telkom Indonesia for opening up such a wide opportunity for students to innovate and make a meaningful impact in society. Taking part in Innovillage has been one of the most enriching experiences—it challenged me to think more critically, act creatively, and believe in my potential. I’m truly proud to be part of Innovillage, because this is where I found the confidence to keep innovating for the betterment of our nation.”

Over the past five years, Innovillage has become more than just a student competition. It has grown into a collaborative platform that connects students, universities, communities, and businesses to work together in building a better, more sustainable Indonesia. Through this program, PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk shows its strong commitment to the future by supporting young people who are not only skilled in technology, but also care about others, think creatively, and want to make a real difference.
