This event brought together over 3,000 cross-sector participants, including 1,000 scientists, more than 300 university rectors, and students from various universities in Indonesia. Aside from discussion sessions, KSTI 2025 also featured an exhibition highlighting eight national priority sectors: energy, defense, digitalization, downstreaming, health, food, maritime, as well as advanced materials and manufacturing.

In the exhibition, DKST showcased a number of flagship innovations, including the Merah Putih Catalyst, Fruit Storage Chamber, Teayasa, Natura Anti-Najis Soap, EBM Scitech, G-Algae, Autonomous Vehicle (AVA), Ganeshfit, Modultrax, Algatek, Hybrid Underwater Glider for Maritime Exploration and Surveillance, Infusion Pump, Syringe Pump, Patient Monitor, and Scales.

These various innovations reflect a commitment to creating solutions that are not only relevant to market needs but also possess added value for technological and industrial advancement in Indonesia.

Through participation in KSTI 2025, it is hoped that cross-sector collaboration will be created to strengthen the national industrial ecosystem. The goal is for Indonesia to transform from merely a consumer of imported products into a significant player in the global supply chain, while simultaneously solidifying the competitiveness of domestic innovation-based industries.
