This covers systematic research and development activities in engineering and technology, spanning civil, chemical, electrical engineering, and cross-disciplinary sciences. It includes both fundamental and applied research aimed at creating new or improved technologies, processes, or products.

What Changed

Direct 1:1 match from KBLI 2020 — code and scope unchanged.

What You Need

Nationally, this KBLI is fully open (100%) for foreign ownership. In Bali, the island-wide moratorium (in force since 13 May 2026) halts PMA registrations for Low and Medium-Low risk lines, and some scopes of this KBLI fall in that band — but at least one large-scale (Besar) scope carries a higher risk class, so the code remains registrable as a PMA in Bali on that scope.

Who This Is For

Foreign tech firms or research-focused entrepreneurs who want to set up an integrated engineering R&D hub — and Bali is not off the table: this KBLI's large-scale risk class sits above the moratorium's Low/Medium-Low band, so a PMA can still register it here.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a engineering & technology r&d business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 72102 (Penelitian dan Pengembangan Enjinering dan Teknologi) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required.
What license is required for KBLI 72102?
KBLI 72102 has a Menengah Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB + Sertifikat Standar. Processing time: 5.
What is KBLI 72102?
KBLI 72102 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Penelitian dan Pengembangan Enjinering dan Teknologi" (Engineering & Technology 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 72102 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 72102 was mapped from previous code 72102 (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.
