PHILIPPINE start-up 1Export, a one-stop, end-to-end platform helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) globally with their export needs, strengthened its core business abroad as it recently launched a logistics vertical in Indonesia.

After raising $860,000, 1Export opened its office in Indonesia as part of the company's efforts to grow its business internationally. Its line of business includes providing assistance to SMEs on their compliance, distribution and logistics in the Indonesian market. Its entry was facilitated by the invitation extended by Gojek's Xcelerate program, a start-up accelerator, where 1Export emerged as the winning business model.
