Mastercard Strive | Indonesia
Empowering 300,000 small businesses to succeed in the digital economy
Our Focus
Small businesses are vital engines of economic growth. By helping them get access to capital, go digital, and grow their networks and know-how, as well as by strengthening the small business support ecosystem, the Strive Indonesia program aims to catalyze inclusive and sustainable growth in the country.
Our Approach
We help small businesses to overcome three common roadblocks:
Go digital and grow networks and know-how
Build demand and lower barriers to technology adoption through peer mentoring and addressing the cost of digitalization.
Get capital
Work closely with bank and non-bank institutions to further democratize access to credit for small businesses, especially for women-led or owned businesses.
Strengthening the small business support ecosystem
Establish a learning network and conduct research on small business digitization to share best practices and insights, co-create initiatives to address systemic bottlenecks, provide the ecosystem with rich quantitative data, and trigger positive shifts.
Our Goal
Empowering 300,000 small businesses to succeed in the digital economy

Digitalization can help small businesses save costs, make more money, weather volatility and increase productivity. However, in order to take advantage of the benefits of digitalization, they need the right support. Strive Indonesia is designed to build demand for digitalization and lower barriers to adoption to enable small businesses to tap into the power of digital technology to build resilience and grow.
