About This Grant
Executive Summary The U.S. Department of State s Embassy Jakarta announces an open competition to implement the AI Pathways to the Future program, a comprehensive initiative designed to strengthen U.S.-Indonesia partnerships in artificial intelligence education, research, and innovation. Promoting AI innovation and security is a top priority of the United States government, including in its foreign policy. By deepening U.S. - Indonesia bilateral educational cooperation in the field of AI, Indonesia s future AI innovators will build critical relationships with American technology, standards, and thought, thus strengthening pathways to long term collaborations and AI-ready workforces to boost unparalleled economic growth.

Component 2: Five-Month AI Innovation Mentorship Challenge Following the workshop, U.S. professors will launch mentoring relationships with Indonesian professors and high-performing students who will compete to build AI-powered solutions addressing pressing Jakarta infrastructure challenges such as waste management, flooding, traffic congestion, or urban planning.
