Biotechnology R&D

Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi

🔬 Section M — Professional, Scientific & Technical

In Bali: open to a PT PMA

✅Open· 100% ForeignMedium-High RiskDirect Match🏝️✅Registrable in Bali· medium conf.

This covers systematic research and development in biotechnology, specifically environmental and industrial biotech applications – such as waste treatment, bio-based materials, or industrial enzyme development – that do not involve genetic modification. It excludes medical biotech and nanotechnology R&D.

What Changed

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

What You Need

Nationally, this is 100% open to foreign ownership. In Bali, it's not blocked by the local PMA moratorium, but it is classified as medium-high risk, meaning you'll need to check per address and expect additional licensing steps, documentation, or compliance checks before operating.

Who This Is For

Foreign entrepreneurs wanting to establish a dedicated biotech R&D lab in Bali for industrial or environmental applications, without genetic modification.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a biotechnology r&d business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 72104 (Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required.
What license is required for KBLI 72104?
KBLI 72104 has a Menengah Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB + Sertifikat Standar. Processing time: 7.
What is KBLI 72104?
KBLI 72104 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi" (Biotechnology 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 72104 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 72104 was mapped from previous code 72104 (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.
