The Director of Student Affairs at UGM, Dr. Hempri Suyatna, S.Sos., M.Si, is proud and grateful that the three teams of students from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) have successfully advanced to the final stage of the Pertamuda Seed and Scale 2025 competition organized by PT Pertamina (Persero). The three teams showcased innovations in the fields of education, green technology, and business digitalization. “These three UGM student teams represent UGM students in the national entrepreneurship event, and we are grateful that the Orionex Solusi Digital (AutoInsight) team won,” he said at the UGM Campus on Thursday (30/10).
Hempri explained that Pertamuda Seed and Scale is a national student business idea competition aimed at strengthening the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This competition also encourages the creation of startups and expands the contribution of the younger generation to national energy transformation. “This year, Pertamuda carries the theme ‘Empowering Indonesia’s Sustainable Future’, marking five years since the program was first launched in 2021,” he explained.
By participating in the competition, said Hepri, it is proof of UGM’s consistency in supporting student entrepreneurship development. The achievements of the startup team are certainly something to be proud of and continue to strengthen UGM’s commitment to developing young entrepreneurs at UGM. “UGM continues to strive to develop an entrepreneurial development ecosystem that is expected to encourage student-managed entrepreneurship to be sustainable,” he explained.
For Hempri, the participation of UGM students in Pertamuda 2025 is part of the university’s efforts to strengthen an innovation- and sustainability-based entrepreneurial ecosystem. Through the support of various units and business incubators on campus, UGM continues to encourage students to develop ideas that are applicable, socially oriented, and contribute to national development.
