Pitch to Policy Competition in Indonesia Announces the 3 Winning Teams with Solutions for Reducing Building Emissions

The Pitch to Policy (P>P) Competition in Indonesia is the first of its kind, of a series of national competitions whose purpose is to identify practical ways to demonstrate the potential of sustainable building policies. These competitions, designed and managed by the international NGO, Global Building Performance Network (GBPN) in partnership with Monash University, are being rolled out in Asia, with the support of national partners. Applications for Indonesia were submitted in October, 2020. A training boot camp was followed by a pitching competition with winners selected by an expert jury on November 15, 2020. The program is now in its second stage of promoting all teams for regulation and policy potential.

Paris (Jan, 2021) — The Global Building Performance Network (GBPN) announced the expert jury selection of three finalist teams in the first edition of the Pitch to Policy Competition in Indonesia, organized with the local support of the Indonesian Institute of Architecture of West Java (IAI Jabar). The winning teams were chosen from the ten finalist teams that had been selected from the initial applicant pool. The finalists were invited to participate in an online bootcamp, where they learned how to develop their proposals. According to GBPN knowledge manager, Craig Burton, the program designer, “The next step will be to ensure that these winning proposals can come to life through a combination of mentoring and resources. And if possible, given their high quality, we hope to get support for all other finalists.”
