The event was first organized in 2011 by Suara Merdeka Network CEO, Kukrit Suryo Wicaksono.
The Rector of Unsoed has been successful in promoting and supporting student participation in the entrepreneurship programme. This is evidenced by the growing number of students enrolling in the programme, which has increased from 319 students in 2020 to 843 students in 2024.
“This program aims to cultivate resilient and competitive young entrepreneurs, particularly in developing Indonesia’s creative economy,” he stated.
Suryanto, SKM, M.Sc., Head of PMW Unsoed, stated that this program serves not only as a platform for students to learn about entrepreneurship but also aims to enhance the Main Performance Index (IKU) by boosting national achievements, such as the KMI Award and the Abdi Daya Award.
He explained, “We offer training, monitoring, mentoring, and comprehensive support, which includes idea development, capital provision, and the implementation of real business ventures.”
The Entrepreneurship Programme is managed by the Student and Alumni Affairs division, which receives full support from the BLU Unsoed budget to provide business capital.
During the Satria Leader Award 2024 ceremony, Vice Rector for Planning, Prof. Dr. Sos. Waluyo Handoko, S.IP., M.Sc., represented the Unsoed Rector and shared his hopes for the program.
He stated, “I hope this student entrepreneurship program will foster a creative and innovative generation of Unsoed graduates who can contribute to economic development and enhance the university’s reputation on national and international stages.”
