NANO Secures IDR 200B to Unlock Indonesia's Nanotech Future

JAKARTA, Indonesia – December 29, 2025

PT Nanotech Indonesia Global Tbk (“NANO”), an Indonesian technology firm specializing in applied nanotechnology, has secured a landmark capital commitment of up to IDR 200 billion from the global alternative investment group LDA Capital. The strategic funding is poised to accelerate the company’s ambitious growth plans, primarily supporting the execution of a colossal IDR 4.95 trillion contract pipeline over the next three years and fueling its expansion across Southeast Asia.

The deal represents a significant vote of confidence from the international investment community in Indonesia's burgeoning deep-tech sector. For NANO, a publicly listed company on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX: NANO), the capital infusion provides critical fuel to transition from securing large-scale contracts to delivering on them, a move its leadership describes as "execution-driven growth."

A Strategic Infusion for Execution

The financial facility provided by LDA Capital is structured to directly support NANO's operational capabilities as it begins work on its substantial portfolio of secured projects with a mix of national, multinational, and publicly listed companies. The commitment, which notably exceeds NANO's recent market capitalization of approximately IDR 197 billion, underscores the scale of the opportunity perceived by the global investment firm.

"NANO’s growth is built on substance," stated Suryandaru, President Director of NANO, in a recent announcement. He highlighted that the company's trajectory is driven by the real-world application of nanotechnology that delivers tangible industrial value. "The IDR 200 billion facility from LDA Capital accelerates execution while preserving governance discipline and shareholder value."

LDA Capital, a Los Angeles-based group with a history of executing over 350 transactions totaling more than USD 11 billion across 45 countries, specializes in providing capital solutions in complex and underserved markets. Their investment in NANO signals a strong belief in the company's science-backed operating model.

"We see strong alignment between NANO’s science-driven operating model and the growing demand for applied technologies with real industrial impact," said Anthony Romano, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of LDA Capital. "NANO has built a meaningful portfolio of secured contracts supported by credible scientific leadership, and we are pleased to support the Company as it advances into its execution phase."

From Lab to Industrial Scale

At the heart of NANO's ability to secure nearly IDR 5 trillion in contracts is its deep-seated foundation in research and development. The company has successfully positioned itself as a bridge between the laboratory and the factory floor, a critical and often challenging leap for deep-tech firms. This effort is spearheaded by the company's scientific leadership, including Prof. Dr. Nurul Taufiqu Rochman, M.Eng., Ph.D., who is credited with translating advanced research into commercially viable industrial solutions.

While specific details of the contracts remain confidential, NANO's expertise in nanotechnology and materials engineering has broad applications across numerous sectors vital to the Southeast Asian economy. These can range from developing advanced materials that improve durability and reduce weight in manufacturing, to creating nano-based solutions for clean water filtration and energy efficiency. The general applications of nanotechnology in the region include creating lightweight materials for vehicles, advanced sensors for solar energy, and innovative nanomedicine for healthcare, indicating the vast potential market NANO is tapping into.

This focus on commercializing scientific breakthroughs is what distinguishes NANO's model. Rather than pursuing research for its own sake, the company is focused on creating scalable and sustainable solutions that solve concrete industrial problems, a strategy that has clearly resonated with both major industrial clients and international investors.

Global Confidence and Regional Ambitions

The partnership with LDA Capital is more than a financial transaction; it is a strategic maneuver to elevate NANO's presence on the global stage. To complement this, NANO has appointed Pangiran Hj. Abdul Rahman Bin Hj. Abas of Brunei as its International Strategic Advisor. His role will be to leverage extensive networks and provide strategic insight to guide NANO's expansion across the ASEAN region, turning a national leader into a regional powerhouse.

This outward-looking strategy aligns with Indonesia's broader economic ambitions. The nation's ICT market, already the largest in Southeast Asia, is projected to surge from USD 46.57 billion in 2025 to over USD 75 billion by 2030. This growth is supported by strong government initiatives like the "Golden Indonesia 2045" vision, which prioritizes innovation and digital transformation. By attracting global capital and exporting high-tech services, NANO is positioning itself at the forefront of this national agenda.

For LDA Capital, the investment diversifies its portfolio, which has recently seen activity in the Web3 and crypto sectors, and establishes a strong foothold in Indonesia's promising deep-tech ecosystem. It demonstrates a sophisticated investment thesis that looks beyond fleeting trends to the foundational technologies poised to reshape industries.

Financial Context and the Path Forward

An analysis of NANO's financial performance provides context for the deal's significance. The company reported a healthy 37% revenue growth in 2024, reaching IDR 114.86 billion. However, its net income has seen a decline in recent years, highlighting the pressure to convert its large contract pipeline into bottom-line profitability. The IDR 200 billion capital facility is the key to unlocking that potential, providing the working capital necessary to mobilize projects and generate revenue from its massive order book.

The challenge and opportunity for NANO are now clearly defined. With a war chest secured and a massive pipeline of work waiting, the company must flawlessly execute its strategy. Success will not only validate its science-driven model but could also establish a new paradigm for how Indonesian technology companies can leverage deep scientific expertise to compete and win on a global scale, transforming industrial processes across the region and delivering significant value to its shareholders.
