TNI General Highlights Gen Z's Contribution to Nation-Building During Visit to This Gaming Company
Bekasi, VIVA – Dean of the Defence Management Faculty at Unhan (Universitas Pertahanan), Maj Gen TNI Priyanto, explained the reasons for selecting the Indonesian gaming marketplace, VCGamers, as the destination for a visit by the academic community of the Defence Management Study Programme.
He assessed the company as a tangible example of how the younger generation can contribute to nation-building. This visit served as a platform for collaboration between the academic world and industry in discussing strategic issues, ranging from cybersecurity to the development of the digital economy.
“We also see how a business run by young people operates. Because these young people, or as the trend calls them, Gen Z, are the backbone of the nation. Naturally, we take pride in the fact that one of these companies, led by the younger generation, is highly beneficial. Not only does the company generate profits and so on, but it also provides benefits to the country and nation,” said Maj Gen Priyanto, quoted on Wednesday, 1 April 2026.
He added that the experience gained by students from this visit is expected to serve as important preparation for entering the workforce and contributing to society.
“Students are expected to use this knowledge after completing their education to equip themselves with an understanding of how to contribute. From community service involving vocational high school students or at the upper secondary school level, to how it applies in the business world,” he stated.
During the event, dozens of students and the Unhan academic community were given a direct view of activities in various divisions of VCGamers, from developers, marketing, operations, to HR and finance. In addition, both parties also discussed challenges and opportunities in the increasingly complex digital era.
Chairman of VCGamers, Wafa Taftazani, welcomed the visit. He viewed the meeting as an important space to unite perspectives between academics and industry practitioners, especially in facing continuously evolving cyber threats.
“In an increasingly connected digital era, data and system security have become crucial issues that not only impact the business sector but also have direct implications for national resilience. Therefore, collaboration between industry and academia is needed to create secure, resilient, and adaptive systems against continuously developing cyber threats,” said Wafa.
