Dr. Rusmin expressed his appreciation for organizing this agenda in which BSI involved not only students but also the Mayor of Banjarmasin as a representative from the government component.

With the involvement of various components ranging from companies, academia, to the government, Dr. Rusmin is optimistic that Indonesia can optimize the increase in the number of young entrepreneurs and can realize Indonesia’s golden generation in the coming 2045. ULM itself, conveyed by Dr. Rusmin currently has around 600 students who are active in entrepreneurship. This figure is targeted to increase to 1,000 students this year.

BSI’s Entrepreneurial Talents are a training and award program for young entrepreneurs throughout Indonesia. Through this program, it is hoped that it can create synergies that create an entrepreneurial ecosystem within the campus environment. This socialization event is expected to attract students, especially in South Kalimantan, to compete to become entrepreneurs in a national scale event. In addition, it is also hoped that holding this event can encourage the development of the MSME sector so that it can grow, excel, and be globally competitive.
