HUBba kabar? Still remember our unique greeting? You may recognize it from past newsletters, a play on “apa kabar”, Bahasa for “how are you?”, and the word Hub, representing Impact Hub.
Cheeky and playful, no doubt! But also warm and friendly, to communicate our main mission: to create a welcoming place for all to enjoy and make their home.

| Impact Hub Jakarta MERDEKA Games Every country celebrates Independence Day with fanfare. Indonesia is no different. Every August 17, when the whole country is awash in red & white, neighborhoods and communities hold traditional games for young and old alike. This year, we decided to bring this spirit indoors. We chose 10 games that brought together Impact Hub Team, Tenants, and some Community Members for an afternoon of fun and laughter. From balloon races to “kerupuk” cracker eating race, inserting-pencil-in-a-bottle, to platefuls of flour relay. |
| Indonesian Plastic Recyclers Meetup Indonesia Plastic Recyclers (IPR) is a trade association that connects recycling industries with stakeholders, other industries, the government, and multinational companies. We had the honor of hosting their networking event in August. The association was established in 2018 with only a handful of members, and has grown to almost 60 members nationwide today. Seeing the lively discussions and new connections being made at the gathering gave us a glimmer of hope that Indonesia’s plastic waste challenge has solutions in the making. |
