Blockchain Innovation Center

What Blockchain Innovation Center does

Blockchain Innovation Center (BIC), founded in 2018 and headquartered in Landmark Pluit Tower D6, North Jakarta, Indonesia, operates a physical blockchain innovation hub that combines coworking space, dedicated project space, education programs, and event hosting under one roof. The company targets three primary segments: blockchain professionals and companies seeking workspace and collaboration, the general public and enthusiasts seeking blockchain and digital asset education, and blockchain startups requiring consulting, ICO advisory, and ecosystem support. Its in-house technology output is the BlooCYS platform, a blockchain-based application project presented to partners and regulators (including the Head of Permanent Committee for Asia Pacific) as a case study for industry blockchain implementation, alongside education content covering Ethereum, smart contracts (Solidity/Truffle/Web3.js), ICOs, and digital assets.

BIC monetizes through four streams: subscription-based coworking rentals (flexible plans), professional services for blockchain training and workshops (e.g., a 2-day 'Blockchain in Action' course at IDR 100,000), event hosting/venue rental for community meetups and project launches, and ICO/crypto exchange consulting. Unit pricing is consumer-level (event registration at IDR 20,000; training at IDR 100,000), indicating a high-volume, low-ticket model rather than enterprise anchor contracts. Go-to-market is community-led, anchored on the recurring Thursday Blockchain Bonanza event series, free social events (TGIF Social Black Night), and an active Meetup.com presence, with awareness built through partnership-driven speaker sessions involving Indonesian crypto exchanges (Triv, SWIPE, Honest Mining, Tokocrypto) and international blockchain foundations (Origin Foundation, Zebra Global).

Operationally, BIC is a small, founder-led, bootstrapped entity with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and a leadership team comprising Charles Joseph (Co-founder & COO), Suisen Kicosuanto (Co-founder & CTO), Raymond (COO), and Zhuo Raymond (Community Manager). Distribution is entirely domestic and physical — single-country (Indonesia), single-location — with no patents, awards, regulatory actions, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. The center self-positions as 'the biggest blockchain innovation center in Indonesia' and emphasizes its regulatory and government partnerships as a differentiator in a market where blockchain adoption is still emerging.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ETHGlobal: Runs blockchain hackathons, workshops, and educational events to grow the Ethereum developer ecosystem. Comparable community-led education and event model targeting blockchain builders.
• Token2049: Premier crypto conference organizer running flagship events for the global blockchain industry. Comparable in running blockchain-themed events, speaker recruitment, and ecosystem convening, though at much larger scale.
• Bitcoin Center NYC: Physical blockchain community space and education hub in New York that hosts meetups, training, and ecosystem-building events. Directly comparable to BIC's coworking + education + community event model.

Regional players

• Bitkub Academy: Thailand-based major crypto exchange with educational initiatives targeting Southeast Asian audiences. Comparable regional play combining exchange, education, and community development.
• Coinhako: Singapore-headquartered crypto exchange serving Southeast Asia with educational content. Comparable SEA-focused crypto ecosystem positioning and education-led market development.

Broad incumbents

• Web3 Foundation / Polkadot: Funds and supports blockchain ecosystem development including grants, education, and community programs. Comparable 'ecosystem builder' positioning though at protocol rather than physical-hub level.
• Coinbase Learn: Major exchange's educational content hub covering blockchain fundamentals, digital assets, and crypto investing. Competes for the same 'public blockchain education' audience as BIC's training programs.
• Crypto.com Education: Major exchange with educational resources on blockchain and digital assets. Competes for the same beginner and enthusiast audience that BIC trains through its public blockchain education programs.
• Binance Academy: Global crypto exchange's educational platform offering blockchain courses, articles, and training. Overlaps with BIC's blockchain education pillar but at global scale and exchange-affiliated scale.

Emerging players

• Blockchain Foundation (various): Non-profit and community blockchain foundations globally that run education, meetups, and ecosystem programs. Comparable community-led approach though typically without commercial coworking or ICO consulting offerings.
