The organisation aims to evolve from a business association into a catalyst for economic transformation, emphasising long-term industrialisation, inclusive growth, and positioning Indonesia as a global production and innovation hub rather than a passive consumer market.",
        "content": "<p>Collaborative approaches between young entrepreneurs, government,\nacademia, technology sector, and industry are crucial to tackle current\nnational economic challenges. This is emphasised by the Indonesian Young\nEntrepreneurs Association (Hipmi), which is currently reshaping its\nleadership for the new era to transform from merely a business\norganisation into a driver of national economic transformation. \u2018Hipmi\nmust act as a catalyst for national economic transformation to address\ndemographic dividend, digitalisation, industrialisation, and\nincreasingly tough global competition,\u2019 said fintech specialist William\nin Jakarta on Thursday (28 May 2026). He agreed with Anthony Leong\u2019s\nremarks during the second debate among Hipmi\u2019s 2026-2029 chair\ncandidates. \u2019 Anthony, being an entrepreneur himself, demonstrated that\nbuilding businesses requires a solid technology-based vision balanced\nwith on-ground execution,\u2019 William stated. He praised all four\ncandidates\u2019 visions but highlighted Anthony Leong as the most\ncomprehensive package needed by Hipmi and the business world. He noted\nAnthony stood out by not only presenting technical programmes but also\narticulating robust, long-term economic foundational thinking in\nlanguage resonant with young entrepreneurs and Indonesia\u2019s youth. \u2018With\na doctorate background, he drew from economist Soemitro\nDjojohadikusumo\u2019s ideas on national development through\nindustrialisation and strengthening the national entrepreneur class,\nwhile linking it to Joseph Stiglitz\u2019s work on economic inequality and\ninclusive growth. The \u2019Economic Pancasila\u2019 narrative aligns well with\nPresident Prabowo Subianto\u2019s economic direction,\u2019 William added. He\npointed out Indonesia has traditionally been seen as a market for\nforeign products and platforms despite abundant potential, with domestic\nproduction capacity, innovation, and ownership of industries yet to\noptimise. \u2019 Anthony stressed Indonesia must not remain a mere large\nmarket; it must graduate to become a production hub, innovation centre,\nand key player in global economic chains,\u2019 continued William, who is\nalso a Doctor of Communication Science student at Gadjah Mada\nUniversity. During the debate, he said Anthony successfully connected\nyoung entrepreneurs\u2019 vision with the government\u2019s 8% national economic\ngrowth target under President Prabowo Subianto. Achieving this requires\nstrengthening productive sectors, creative industries, technology, and\nentrepreneurship. He also appreciated the proposal for a Youth\nDevelopment Bank to provide financing and development for young\nentrepreneurs, ensuring access to capital, mentorship, and business\necosystems. \u2018Equally important is the establishment of Creative and\nProduction Hub as a cross-sector collaboration centre to drive\ninnovation, creative industries, technology, and strengthen national\nproduction chains. This is quintessentially millennial and Gen Z, making\nit highly relevant to younger generations,\u2019 William added. He concluded\nthat Anthony Leong, backed by Hipmi Bali, presented a clear strategic\ndirection for Indonesia\u2019s young entrepreneurs\u2019 future.<\/p>",
