The participants comprised representatives of various international organizations and stakeholders from government, industry, education, and non-profit organizations.
In her speech, Prof. Dr. Muliawati Siswanto, UMN’s Vice-Rector for Cooperation, said, “We are very proud to host GEM 2024. This event proves UMN’s commitment to supporting sustainable entrepreneurship education and social innovation. UMN always strives to create a learning environment that supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and social innovation from an early age.”
Dessy Aliandrina, Executive Director of Sociopreneur Indonesia and Chairperson of UNESCO EE-Net Indonesia, added, “The inauguration of the UNESCO EE-Net National Chapter on the one hand shows UNESCO’s support for entrepreneurship and social innovation education in Indonesia, and on the other hand makes us realize that we must be more serious about education in this field.”
The event also featured keynote speaker Prof. Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro, who discussed the vital role of entrepreneurship education in shaping future leaders who can face global challenges. In addition, various panel sessions and workshops have discussed innovations in entrepreneurship education and the integration of technology to create positive change.
UMN continues to innovate in creating learning spaces that support ecological literacy and sustainability. This will form future generations of leaders who care about the environment and are ready to face global challenges. Through GEM 2024, UMN hopes to make a real contribution to preparing young people to become agents of positive change in their communities.
As a next step, UMN will continue collaborating with international partners to strengthen entrepreneurship and social innovation education programs and involve more students and faculty in sustainable projects.
