Lisk, a Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to bringing Web3 adoption in emerging markets back to Ethereum, is excited to announce its new partnership with Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup Digital, an initiative by the Indonesian government’s Directorate General of Informatics Applications of the Ministry of Communications & Informatics Technology (DGIA MCIT). This collaboration introduces Ignit3, Indonesia’s first government-supported Web3 program, aimed at nurturing local innovation and accelerating the Web3 startup ecosystem by providing the necessary resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs.
Ignit3 was publicly unveiled during a special side event hosted by Lisk at Coinfest Asia 2024 in Nuanu, Bali, on August 22nd.

Lisk’s partnership with Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup Digital is designed to support and scale Web3 projects and entrepreneurs in Indonesia, leveraging government backing to provide crucial resources and mentorship. The collaboration will foster a thriving Web3 ecosystem by combining Lisk’s expertise with the strategic guidance of Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup Digital, enhancing local innovation and driving the future of blockchain technology in the region.
“Our new partnership with Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup Digital and the launch of Ignit3 highlights our commitment to advancing Web3 innovation in emerging markets,” said Dominic Schwenter, COO of Lisk. “By leveraging government support and focusing on local startups, we aim to empower developers, enhance financial inclusion, and build a robust Web3 community in Southeast Asia.”
Lisk continues its mission to bridge the knowledge gap in blockchain technology and support emerging markets through strategic collaborations and participation in pivotal events.
