Yogyakarta, 08th October 2024 – Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) supports Indonesian Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through collaboration with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs. The Mikro Mandiri 2024 program enhances competitiveness, strengthens networks, and accelerates MSME growth across sectors.
Since April 2024, 2,578 MSMEs from various sectors participated. Sixty Yogyakarta-based MSMEs received intensive training on business development strategies, marketing, and financing.
Dr. Yulius, Deputy for Micro Business, Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, stated that Mikro Mandiri 2024 addresses key challenges: low entrepreneurial understanding, inadequate business legitimacy, poor product quality, minimal innovation, and limited financing access.
This initiative aims to empower MSMEs, fostering growth and expansion nationwide.
“We hope participants will leverage market opportunities and secure easier financing, driving business development,” Dr. Yulius added.
The Mikro Mandiri 2024 program demonstrates UGM’s commitment to MSME empowerment, aligning with its mission to contribute to societal and economic progress.
Through this collaboration, UGM and the Ministry envision establishing a solid foundation for Indonesian MSMEs to advance and contribute significantly to the national economy.
