Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium\nEnterprises (MSMEs) is striving to raise the national entrepreneurship\nratio to 3.6 per cent by 2029 through strengthening the entrepreneurial\necosystem, including collaboration with universities to produce more\nyoung entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
Deputy for Entrepreneurship at the Ministry of MSMEs, Riza Damanik,\nsaid in a press statement in Jakarta on Monday that the ecosystem\nstrengthening is being carried out through the implementation of\nPresidential Regulation Number 38 of 2026 on National Entrepreneurship\nDevelopment.<\/p>\n
The regulation serves as a guideline for building the\nentrepreneurship ecosystem through collaboration between ministries and\nagencies, regional governments, universities, the business community,\ncommunities, and various other stakeholders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis major policy is directed at accelerating the increase of the\nnational entrepreneurship ratio to 3.6 per cent by 2029 and achieving\nthe optimistic target of 8 per cent by 2045,\u201d said Riza at the Wirausaha\nMuda Mahasiswa (Wibawa) Grow Day 2026 event at Sebelas Maret University\n(UNS) in Surakarta, Central Java, on Saturday (18\/7).<\/p>\n
According to him, entrepreneurship development cannot be carried out\nby the government alone, but requires synergy among various parties,\nincluding universities as the birthplace of young entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
\u201cUniversities are not enough merely producing graduates who are ready\nto work. Campuses must also become places where innovators,\nentrepreneurs, and job creators are born,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that not all graduates need to become entrepreneurs, but\nevery graduate needs to have an entrepreneurial mindset, such as being\nsensitive to problems, daring to take measured risks, being able to\npresent solutions, and creating value for society.<\/p>\n
To support this target, the Ministry of MSMEs is running the\nCollaborative Productive PRO-KESRA Programme through Wibawa Grow Day\n2026 to strengthen the capacity of young entrepreneurs so they become\nproductive, innovative, and competitive business players.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of MSMEs is also integrating entrepreneurial coaching\nwith the SAPA UMKM platform, which is designed to reach around 57\nmillion MSME players in Indonesia. Through the platform, business\nplayers can access various services, ranging from financing,\ncertification, business licensing, and training, to business development\ninformation.<\/p>\n
In addition, the government is strengthening the role of 754 business\nincubator institutions in various regions to assist prospective\nentrepreneurs, startups, and MSMEs so they can develop more innovative\nand competitive businesses.<\/p>\n
Riza expressed hope that the synergy between the government and\nuniversities through this programme can serve as an inspiration for\nother campuses across Indonesia to give birth to more resilient,\ninnovative, and competitive young entrepreneurs capable of driving\nnational economic growth.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/msme-ministry-targets-3-6-entrepreneurship-ratio-by-2029-1784544949", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
