New code in KBLI 2025 — natural science R&D was previously part of broader research categories in KBLI 2020. The 2025 classification separates natural science research (72101) from experimental research (72109) and social science research (72201), recognizing the distinct regulatory needs of each discipline.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a natural science r&d business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 72101 (Penelitian dan Pengembangan Ilmu Alam) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required.
What license is required for KBLI 72101?
KBLI 72101 has a Menengah Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB dan Sertifikat Standar. Processing time: 7 Hari.
What is KBLI 72101?
KBLI 72101 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Penelitian dan Pengembangan Ilmu Alam" (Natural Science R&D). It falls under Section M of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 72101 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 72101 was mapped from previous code 72101 (KBLI 2020). This is a direct match — the code number and scope remained the same. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
