Indonesia’s health-technology ecosystem is evolving rapidly. With the launch of Sandbox Kesehatan 2025, Kemenkes provides a formal, structured pathway for innovators, start-ups and medical device companies to test, validate and scale solutions under regulatory supervision.
For global medical-device manufacturers, regulatory services and tech innovators, this Sandbox represents not only a launchpad for registration and certification but an opportunity to align with Indonesia’s regulatory future and market access roadmap.
What is Sandbox Kesehatan?
The Sandbox is described by Kemenkes as a “program of acceleration for health-technology innovation” — a controlled “safe space” where innovators can trial health technologies (devices, digital health, medical services) while receiving regulatory guidance and oversight.
Participants will benefit from:
- Structured testing and piloting under regulatory supervision.
- Mentorship and compliance support from Kemenkes and technical experts.
- Official recognition and recommendation that strengthen market credibility.
This framework is strategic for companies targeting Indonesian healthcare procurement, medical device registration and regulatory alignment.
Why It Matters for Medtech & Regulatory Services Stakeholders
For medical-device manufacturers and regulatory-services firms like Product Registration Indonesia, the Sandbox offers distinct advantages:
- Streamlined route to regulatory recognition: an innovation that completes the Sandbox cycle and receives a Kemenkes recommendation is more credible to hospitals, investors and distributors.
- Embedded compliance early: The program brings regulatory readiness, including Halal, safety, and registration awareness, into the innovation lifecycle.
- Accelerated market access: Technologies validated through the Sandbox may find faster access to Indonesian registration processes, procurement frameworks and partner networks.
