Empowerment Festival Boosts SMEs to the Next Level Through Integrated Ecosystem
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The MitMe Fest 2026 empowerment festival presents an integrated ecosystem for SMEs through business assessments, halal certifications, and creative workshops to drive business acceleration towards sustainable growth and competitiveness.
“MitMe Fest 2026 brings an integrated ecosystem for 23 selected SMEs, from business assessments and halal certifications to free creative workshops,” said the person in charge of MitMe Fest 2026, who is also the General Manager of PT Kreasi Pena Indonesia, Vanie Elsis Mariana, in a statement in Jakarta on Saturday.
MitMe Fest 2026 is an empowerment festival that serves as a hub for local business actors to transform their businesses into better and more sustainable ones.
The festival is organised by MitMe.id as a digital and AI mentor for Indonesian SMEs, which officially initiates programmes to encourage business actors to level up while increasing turnover.
Under the theme “Local Stories, Archipelagic Works”, MitMe Fest 2026 will take place from 24 to 26 April 2026 at Melting Pop, M Bloc Space, South Jakarta.
Vanie stated that the event is not merely a product exhibition but an integrated ecosystem that brings together business actors, consumers, communities, and stakeholders in one dynamic collaboration space.
“This festival aims to provide real solutions so that SMEs can develop, adapt to the digital era, and achieve sustainable growth,” she said.
According to Vanie, SME business acceleration is carried out through a holistic approach, where MitMe Fest 2026 participants gain direct access to various strategic and results-oriented development programmes.
One of the main programmes is the SME business level assessment, which helps business actors understand their current business position while formulating strategic directions for scaling up and expanding markets.
In addition, exclusive business consultations with the MitMe Founder are available through in-depth face-to-face sessions to discuss real challenges, from marketing strategies and operational efficiency to long-term growth planning.
Several partners such as BNI, Bank Mandiri, Jamkrindo, InJourney Airports, JNE, and Waringin Hospitality are involved in strengthening the SME ecosystem from financing, mentoring, to distribution aspects.
Moreover, SME actors are also facilitated with free halal certifications as part of MitMe’s commitment to enhancing product competitiveness to penetrate wider markets.
This effort also supports SMEs in meeting relevant quality standards, both for domestic and global markets, so that the resulting products become increasingly competitive.
Not only that, MitMe Fest 2026 also features interactive and creative workshops that can be attended for free by participants and visitors as part of an inclusive and applicable learning experience.
“At MitMe Fest 2026, participants will also be given flower arrangement workshops to sharpen their aesthetic sensitivity and hand skills in developing their businesses,” she said.
