Bliink has been named one of PhocusWire's Hot 25 Travel Startups for 2027, a list of young travel companies expected to make their mark in the year ahead.
Bliink has been named one of PhocusWire's Hot 25 Travel Startups for 2027. The annual list recognises young travel companies that PhocusWire expects to make their mark in their sectors and regions in the coming year. For Bliink, a corporate travel management platform built for companies in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, it is a recognition we are proud to share with the people who made it possible.
We started Bliink because business travel in our region deserved better. Too many trips are still arranged through a mix of chat messages, emails and spreadsheets, with travel coordinators holding everything together. Being recognised on a global list tells us that this problem, and our way of solving it, matters beyond our own market.
PhocusWire is a global travel industry news outlet and the sister brand of Phocuswright, the travel research and events company owned by Northstar Travel Group. Its Hot 25 Travel Startups list is now in its ninth edition.
When choosing the list, PhocusWire focuses on companies that are no more than six years old, are generally pre-Series B, and are on a path to make a mark in their sectors or regions in the year ahead. The 2027 list was published on 9 November 2026, one week before The Phocuswright Conference in Fort Lauderdale.
Bliink helps companies plan, book and manage business travel in one place. Travel coordinators, executive assistants and HR teams can book flights and hotels, apply company travel policy and handle approvals without switching between apps. We also arrange visas for our clients from start to finish.
For finance teams, Bliink brings every trip together on consolidated invoices, so month-end reconciliation takes less time and travel spending stays visible. For travellers, it means a trip that simply works, with someone looking after the details.
For the companies we work with, nothing changes in how we serve them, and that is the point. The recognition reflects the work we already do every day:
Booking and managing business trips across Indonesia and Southeast Asia
Keeping travel policy, approvals and bookings in one place
Giving finance clear, consolidated invoices
Supporting the travel coordinators and EAs who keep every trip on track
What it does bring is new conversations. Being part of a global community of travel innovators helps us connect with partners and ideas that can make business travel in our region simpler and more reliable.
This recognition belongs to more than our team. Thank you to our clients for trusting us with their people's journeys, to the travel coordinators and executive assistants who work with us every day, and to our partners across the region. We are grateful to PhocusWire for including Bliink among this year's Hot 25.
We will keep doing what got us here: building corporate travel that understands the people behind every trip. If you'd like to see how Bliink can support your company's business travel in 2027, have a chat with us.
