Why Proteka
Our approach connects technical understanding with the realities of working in Indonesia.
Founded by Zamzam Multazam, who holds a doctorate in urban disaster mitigation engineering from the University of Tokyo.
We work in Indonesian, Japanese and English, helping teams understand the context behind the words.
Disaster mitigation is a shared challenge. We believe researchers, communities, government and private companies all have a part to play.
Our mission is to help SMEs bring useful ideas to Indonesia and build viable businesses around them. As those businesses grow, they can contribute to local investment, jobs and stronger communities.
