BNI is striving to create wider\nopportunities so that Indonesian batik and craft products become more\nwidely recognised and have the chance to flourish.<\/p>\n<p>One such form of support was demonstrated through BNI\u2019s participation\nin Puspa Nuswantara 2026 in Jakarta last July. During the event, BNI\nfeatured its mentored MSMEs to expand the exposure of batik and craft\nproducts from various regions.<\/p>\n<p>BNI also supports increasing artisan capacity through training and\nmentoring, including product development and the implementation of more\nsustainable business practices.
