This model is developed through the MEKAR\nEcosystem, which connects financing with business mentoring, monitoring\ntechnology, market access, and value chain partnerships. This approach\nensures financing does not stop at capital disbursement. MEKAR positions\nit as an instrument to increase productivity and business\nsustainability. Chief Executive Officer of PT Mekar Investama Teknologi,\nPandu Aditya Kristy, said the financial sector needs to move beyond just\nfinancing. \u201cWe believe that the future of the financial sector does not\nstop at financing. By connecting capital to the agriculture sector,\nwaste-to-energy, and various other productive sectors through the MEKAR\nEcosystem, we want to create a real impact for the community while\nsupporting sustainable economic growth,\u201d said Pandu on Monday (29\/6).\nOne of the main pillars of the MEKAR Ecosystem is Multi Micro\nAgriculture Financing (MMAF). This model combines productive financing\nwith agronomy mentoring, satellite-based land monitoring, market access,\nand agricultural partnerships. Through MMAF, MEKAR connects capital\ndirectly with farmers\u2019 production activities. This model is designed to\nimprove the quality of financing. In addition, MMAF also helps farmers\noptimise land and maintain income sustainability. MEKAR is also\nexpanding financing to the MSME and waste-to-energy sectors. The company\nstated that more than 80 per cent of its financing recipients are MSMEs\nrun by women. In the waste-to-energy sector, MEKAR supports the\nprocessing of agricultural waste and wood waste. The waste is processed\ninto renewable energy with added value. This ecosystem-based financing\napproach has received international recognition. MEKAR won three awards\nat the FinanceAsia Awards 2026 and the WRISE Volare Awards 2026. At the\nFinanceAsia Awards 2026, MEKAR won the award for Winner - Best Strategic\nInitiative - Nonbank Financial Institutions Indonesia. MEKAR also\nreceived the Highly Commended predicate for Biggest Sustainable Impact -\nNonbank Financial Institutions Indonesia. On the same day, MEKAR won the\nBest Environmental, Social, and Governance Ecosystem Platform award at\nthe WRISE Volare Awards 2026. \u201cThis award reflects MEKAR\u2019s commitment to\nredefining productive financing through creating real impact for the\ncommunity,\u201d said Pandu. Going forward, MEKAR will expand the\nimplementation of MMAF. The company will also strengthen strategic\npartnerships and utilise technology for the development of sustainable\nfinance in Indonesia.<\/p>",
