Nest opens an Indonesian game incubator with grants and a route to publishing

The 2026 Nest programme offers Indonesian developers a free six-week bootcamp, grants, market data, minimum guarantees and potential investment of up to $20,000.

Nest has opened applications for an Indonesian mobile-game incubator designed to move teams from playable prototypes to publishing and seed funding. The programme accepts studios and solo developers with a playable portfolio, with no application fee or genre restriction.

Selected participants receive a six-week bootcamp, one-to-one publisher mentorship, market data, development tools and completion grants. Top teams can enter a developer-in-residence stage with a publishing contract and monthly minimum guarantee, followed by optional direct investment of up to $20,000. This is a practical opportunity for early teams because the programme connects education, production support, financing and a defined route to market.
