The program aims to empower farmers as key agents of transformation in the coffee sector — from upstream to downstream, and from local to global. The activities include:
1. Elon Farm – Modern Robusta from Vietnam's Millennial Farmers
Elon Farm, owned by Jenny Le Thao, is a 12-hectare robusta coffee plantation managed in collaboration with a local farmer group in Thanh Pho Da Lat – Lam Dong. The farm produces an average of 50 tons of green beans annually. It is equipped with modern and mechanical post-harvest facilities — from washing and hulling to packaging. ALKO farmers learned about efficient production systems, farmer group management, and export-standard post-harvest practices.
2. Thy Thy Farm – A Community-Based Arabica Plantation
Managed by a group of young farmers led by Le Ngoc Thy, this farm represents a successful model of community-based arabica coffee development. Supported by an international NGO, the farm cultivates superior arabica varieties. With a planting density of 2,300 trees per hectare and an average yield of 4 tons of green beans per hectare, it serves as an efficient and sustainable farm model.
3. Visit to a Certified Coffee Nursery
ALKO farmers also visited a certified coffee nursery managed by Eakmat Tây Nguyên, an official body under Vietnam's agricultural authority that issues legal and high-quality coffee seeds. Here, participants studied the seed certification process, variety selection, and professional nursery practices that can be adopted into Indonesia's coffee farming systems.
Through this program, ALKO fosters international collaboration by partnering with Vietnam's millennial farmers, Jenny Le Thao and Le Ngoc Thy, who have committed in adopting blockchain traceability via the QthingX platform, advancing tech-driven coffee production and marketing, and exchanging knowledge in farm management, post-harvest practices, and global market access.
"We brought ALKO farmer representatives from 8 provinces, including farmers from Solok, Kerinci, Lampung, and West Sumatra. Through this collaborative program, ALKO demonstrates that Indonesian farmers can compete on a global scale," said Suryono Bagas Tani, CEO of ALKO Sumatra Kopi.

DREAME NEXT will also host a series of forums with leading figures in global technology, exploring where technology is headed over the next ten years.
Dreame Technology has made R&D central to its operations, with research spending exceeding seven percent of revenue and research personnel making up more than 70 percent of the company. As of the end of 2025, Dreame had filed over 10,000 patents globally across high-speed motors, multimodal AI perception, and bionic robotics. This investment has translated into strong global performance; Dreame's robot vacuums rank first in 30 markets, and the company's North American revenue grew 189 percent year-on-year in 2025, with offline retail accounting for more than 20 percent of sales. Today, Dreame's products serve more than 42 million households across 120 countries and regions, supported by a network of over 6,500 offline stores.
At the core of the company's strategy is a simple principle: every product is a different expression of the same underlying engineering. The same core capabilities, from high-speed digital motors to real-time perception AI, are continuously refined and applied across product categories. The engineering that pushes a high-speed digital motor to 200,000 RPM also enables breakthroughs in automotive powertrains and precision motion systems.
The next-generation tech launch saga is counting down in 5 days, where tech dreamers and lovers are welcomed to join the event in San Francisco from April 27 to 30.
