TANGERANG \u2014 As industry and society increasingly need relevant\ninnovation, collaboration between universities and stakeholders has\nbecome more important to ensure research does not remain confined to\nlaboratories but can be developed into practical solutions.<\/p>\n
In response, Binus University has launched the Multihelix Hub at\nBinus @BSD<\/span>, located in\nthe D-HUB Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in BSD, Tangerang. The initiative\nprovides a forum for collaboration among academics, industry,\ngovernment, communities, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises\n(MSMEs), and the media to promote research-based innovation that can\naddress real challenges in society.<\/p>\n Managed by Binus University\u2019s Research and Technology Transfer (RTT),\nthe Multihelix Hub is designed as a collaborative space where partners\ncan set out their needs and challenges, then work with Binus researchers\nto design, develop and test relevant solutions.<\/p>\n Binus University Vice-Rector for Research and Technology Transfer\nProf Juneman Abraham stressed the importance of building an open\ninnovation ecosystem involving a range of stakeholders.<\/p>\n \u201cUnlike conventional Science and Technology Parks (STPs), which are\noften bureaucratic, the BINUS@BSD Multihelix Hub breaks down barriers\nbetween research and industry to democratise innovation at the centre of\nBSD\u2019s technology ecosystem and Indonesia\u2019s Special Economic Zone.\nThrough agile applied co-creation rooted in the collective intelligence\nof industry, digital talent and society, the hub transforms all the\nhelixes from transactional relationships into drivers of shared\nprogress, with sovereignty and equal empowerment. This organic\npartnership ensures a sustainable competitive advantage for every\ninnovation,\u201d Juneman said in a press release on Thursday (22 October\n2026).<\/p>\n To support collaboration, the Multihelix Hub provides facilities for\ndiscussion and innovation development through Binus DigiHub and Space to\nCreate, which includes laboratory space and facilities for producing and\ntesting prototypes.<\/p>\n The ecosystem is also supported by Binus Bridge (Binus\nResearch-Driven Innovation and Development for Greater Empowerment), a\ndigital platform connecting Binus research and innovation with the needs\nof industry, government and community partners. Through the platform,\npartners can explore available innovations and propose collaboration\nopportunities to develop with researchers.<\/p>\n The Multihelix Hub will also facilitate innovation testing, provide\nsupport for research-based start-ups, and introduce research findings to\nthe public. Through Industrial-Solution Matching, BINUS aims to foster\ncollaborations that can be developed into joint research and innovation\nprojects.<\/p>\n As an initial step, Binus, through RTT, is targeting seven to eight\njoint-research agreements with industry in 2026. These are expected to\ninclude research roadmaps and financing plans to support the\nimplementation of solutions.<\/p>\n Binus University Technology Transfer Senior Specialist Hendy\nRisdianto Wijaya said the Multihelix Hub gives industry the opportunity\nto take part directly in developing research-based solutions.<\/p>\n \u201cCompanies with technical challenges or innovation needs can submit\nthem through Binus Bridge or visit the Multihelix Hub in person. We then\nconnect those needs with researchers who have the relevant expertise, so\nthe collaboration can develop into solutions ready to be tested and\nimplemented,\u201d Hendy said.<\/p>\n The Multihelix Hub forms part of Binus University\u2019s commitment to\nstrengthening a research and innovation ecosystem that delivers tangible\nimpact. In line with its vision, \u2018Fostering and Empowering the Society\nin Building and Serving the Nation\u2019, BINUS aims to ensure that\nknowledge, technology and innovation developed at the university\ncontribute to industrial progress, community empowerment and Indonesia\u2019s\ndevelopment.<\/p>",
