Bali Intelligence

While Bali isn't a traditional electronics design hub, the growing tech/startup scene — especially in Canggu and Sanur — has attracted hardware designers and IoT developers. Most electronics design work is done remotely for international clients, using Bali as a lifestyle base. The practical challenge is sourcing components locally — most electronic parts need to be imported from Shenzhen or through Jakarta distributors. This code is more commonly used by design consultancies serving international tech companies.
