CIX Summit 2024 aims to position Indonesia as a technological frontrunner by offering cutting-edge exhibitions, inspiring keynotes, and networking opportunities, transcending traditional conferences to explore groundbreaking developments in technology.
Jakarta, March 20, 2024 – The
Connecting Immersive Experience (CIX) Summit 2024, the First and Largest
Immersive Technology Conference and Exhibition in Indonesia, is set to push the
boundaries of immersive technology. As a pioneer in technology exploration, CIX
Summit 2024 aims to inspire innovation and usher in a new era of immersive
experiences. Taking place at the Jakarta Convention Center from August 22 to
24, 2024, CIX Summit 2024 will offer immersive experiences exploring the
future.
According to NextMSC,
the global artificial intelligence (AI) market is projected to reach USD 196.63
billion by 2024, up from USD 142.32 billion in 2022. Meanwhile, Precedence
Research forecasts the AI market to grow to USD 1.85 trillion by 2030.
The Indonesian government
estimates that the country’s digital economy potential will reach USD 146
billion by 2025, becoming the largest in Southeast Asia, driven in part by the
rise of immersive technology propelled by several key factors. First, government
initiatives such as the “Indonesia Digital 2025” program demonstrate
strong support for technology development given its potential for economic
growth.
Additionally, there is a surge in
consumer demand for immersive experiences, particularly in the gaming,
entertainment, and education sectors, driven by the increasing accessibility of
VR and AR devices. Second, Indonesia has robust technology infrastructure,
including high internet penetration and widespread smartphone usage, providing
a solid foundation for the advancement of immersive technology. These solid
factors propel Indonesia’s immersive technology market forward.
Projections from IDC indicate a
significant growth trajectory, with a projected average annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 30.4% from 2020 to 2025. This growth is supported by increasing
demand for immersive experiences, broader content availability, and robust
technology infrastructure in Indonesia.
“We are excited to explore
the forefront of technology and provide a platform for industry leaders,
innovators, and enthusiasts to converge. Our mission is to showcase the latest
advancements in AI technology, immersive technology, digital transformation,
and usher in a new era of immersive experiences,” said Rudi Hidayat,
Founder & CEO of V2 Indonesia.
Furthermore, Rudi Hidayat
emphasized that CIX Summit aims to propel Indonesia to the forefront of
technology innovation. With the ambitious goal of making Indonesia the fourth
best country in the world by 2030, CIX Summit will gather a host of speakers and
industry figures to drive Indonesia’s market thinking.
“With CIX Summit 2024, we
present a captivating stage for industry players, innovators, and technology
enthusiasts to explore the boundless potential of immersive technology. We are
committed to being a catalyst for change in delivering captivating immersive

As a young lady going through this exciting journey of self-discovery and girlhood, you might often find yourself feeling lost or confused about many things – be it about relationships, consent, sex, contraception, and overall female reproductive health.
Don’t worry, you are not alone through all these! CHARMEE, one of the leading trusted feminine protection brands in the Philippines, can be your bestie and support system.
CHARMEE, together with Roots of Health, a highly respected reproductive health organization based in the Philippines, and an all-women team from the advertising agency Blackpencil Manila of the Leo Burnett Group celebrated girls through Project Roots where they learned correct information on sexual health, contraception, consent, and healthy relationships engagingly.
The project kicked off at Palawan High School, the second largest high school in the country, and was made more relatable and fun through interactive activities and colorful storytelling delivered through a surprising media – sanitary napkins!
Dear Diary
The activity opened with the female students being welcomed with the PAD-ibig Diary shelf that has a total of 24 diary designs and stories, all wrapped around CHARMEE feminine pads, open to the students to grab one for free.
Fun and visually appealing, these diaries contain “nakakakilig” stories with evidence-based scientific information, tackling important lessons on sexual education, spanning from busting common myths on reproduction and pregnancy to the basics of consent, healthy relationships, and communication.
To make it even more interesting and interactive, the activity included a dramatic reading by some of the school’s best actresses of some of the diary entries. The students were also encouraged to take selfies with the self-care mirrors scattered around the school gym.
Just Between Us Girls
Palawan High School female students joined the Project Roots kick off campaign
The fun learning sessions didn’t end there as a more in-depth talk with Roots of Health educators took place. The entertaining and engaging segment talked about the science behind what was “Chismis or Check” or true or false about sex and female health.
But even after the learning sessions concluded at Palawan National High School, empowering and supporting more than 5,000 female high school students continued. The PAD-ibig Diary shelf was placed in the school’s clinic, available for female students who need it.
Ensuring educational resources are readily available, murals in the girls’ toilets and by the clinic were also created as reminders. Roots of Health has also uploaded the PAD-ibig Diary stories online for easy viewing anytime. Not only that, but girls can also visit the organization’s Youth Clinics and regular TikTok Live Sessions called “Safe Magtanong Dito” where more questions can be asked and answered by credible educators.
Beyond the Feminine Pad
But this is just the beginning for CHARMEE! So many more young and adult women can watch out for the brand’s nationwide School Tour Activation in 2024, reaching girls from grades 7 to 12 (12 to 15 years old), and giving away sanitary napkin and pantyliner product samples. Aside from making sanitary pads accessible to young girls, this School Tour initiative also aims to educate the students on menstruation and proper menstrual hygiene practices through an educational flyer.
On top of these exciting events, CHARMEE will also launch digital educational campaigns about Menstrual Hygiene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
From PAD-ibig Diaries to educational campaigns, CHARMEE will continue to reach its goal of empowering girls and becoming their dependable partner in their journey to womanhood.

FITOKIO is a fitness studio located in Bangsar that offers personal training and group classes. Recently, we embarked on an unexpected collaboration with an elder care facility.
At the end of February, the staff of FITOKIO visited My Aged Care in PJ Old Town to donate the towels we typically use in our studio. What started as a simple idea to repurpose our old towels turned into a heartwarming experience as we witnessed the joy and gratitude within our community.
My Aged Care is a nursing and retirement home that provides services for elderly individuals with various conditions, ranging from fully mobile to critically ill patients. The facility is staffed by dedicated caregivers and in-house doctors, ensuring round-the-clock care, with an ambulance on standby for emergencies.
Residents enjoy six meals a day and experience fewer restrictions on their activities, prioritizing their mental well-being. There are four branches in total, each accommodating approximately 25 residents or patients.
During our visit to the PJ branch, we had the opportunity to meet the residents during their teatime and personally deliver our donated towels.
Interacting with the residents was a touching experience. We shared stories, laughter, and genuine connections, witnessing the impact of our gesture firsthand.
Many expressed gratitude for the simple act of kindness, emphasizing how it brightened their day. My Aged Care’s General Manager, Ms. Lisa, aptly described the facility with three words: Love, Compassion, and Care.
These words epitomize the ethos of My Aged Care, reflecting their unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of the elderly.
Reflecting on our visit, it’s evident that initiatives like this, where communities unite to support one another, hold immense significance.
It’s not just about donating; it’s about fostering connections and spreading positivity. As a fitness studio, our mission extends beyond physical health to encompass mental well-being. This initiative allowed us to bring positivity beyond our gym walls, making a meaningful impact on both the recipients and ourselves.
In conclusion, our partnership with My Aged Care underscores the power of collective action and the importance of caring for our community members, particularly those who may be more vulnerable.
We remain committed to seeking out opportunities to make a positive difference and nurture a sense of belonging for all.

Their objective is to assist Malaysian authorities and industries in advancing domestic quality justice through enhanced transparency and traceability, providing a sense of reassurance and confidence to all stakeholders.
In today’s world, homes play a vital role in the lives of individuals. Purchasing a home often represents a significant investment of a lifetime’s savings and embodies the dreams of many families.

It leverages IoT and RFID-supported tools to address a critical issue—ensuring concrete quality. Unlike other solutions, MYCRS tracks each cement sample’s journey from liquid to solid state and monitors the entire engineering testing process using RFID tracking chips. This comprehensive approach ensures the highest level of quality control, providing users with accurate, tamper-proof, and error-free outputs that comply with British Standards.

Through scanning, testing, and monitoring, MYCRS compiles captured readings into engineering data that is compliant with British Standards, providing users with accurate, tamper-proof, and error-free outputs. This not only enhances testing efficiency but also provides vital evidence for post-engineering liability tracing.
Initially developed for the Hong Kong railway and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge projects, MYCRS has expanded its reach to cover all major construction projects in Hong Kong and has been adopted by the Singapore government for Housing Development Board (HDB) construction. It is the world’s first and only technology solution provider validated by the official engineering departments of two regions for its practicality, quality, and stability.
Over the past five years, MYCRS has remained steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding the lives and assets of millions of consumers overseas. Now, it aims to promote and innovate its technology back in Malaysia & Southeast Asia, supporting regulatory agencies in enhancing concrete testing supervision and ensuring the stability of every home for homebuyers.
