JAKARTA, Indonesia and PERTH, Australia, 30 January 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Katalis has announced its support for Australian fintech company SkyCredit Group to explore entry into the Indonesian electric motorcycle market. The partnership will analyze the emerging sector of electric two-wheel mobility i Indonesia and identify opportunities for SkyCredit Group to engage based on their technological strengths.

With Katalis support, our value proposition will make electric two-wheelers more accessible, and in the long run contribute to a sustainable urban mobility system,” said Paul WalsheCEO, SkyCredit.
