WIR has also won many awards in the international stage and has accompanied the Indonesia government to showcase its technology applications each year at the World Economic Forum in Davos since 2019. And as WIR develop many innovative solutions using AR, VR, and AI, they also have registered a number of patents to safeguard their intellectual property.
