Universitas Indo Global Mandiri collaborate with Universitas PGRI Palembang to host an entrepreneurial seminar for recipients of the 2024 Student Entrepreneurship Development Programme (P2MW) grant.

The seminar, which featured discussions and exchanges of ideas, was graced by Ahmad Al Farizi, S.E., the Founder of Bakso Juragan and CEO of PT Radja Palindo Nusantara, as the keynote speaker.

Try Wulandari, S.E., M.Fin, Head of Student Affairs Division at Universitas IGM, explained that IGM University successfully secured funding for four student groups, while PGRI University had five groups receiving funding.

"The workshop aims to motivate P2MW grant recipients by allowing them to learn marketing strategies directly from successful entrepreneurs, which they can apply to their own businesses," she said.

Wulandari further highlighted that PGRI University had the highest number of funded student groups. "This collaboration has increased the number of participants, and we hope that the material presented will benefit more students," she added.

P2MW is a programme designed to develop student businesses or prototypes through financial aid and guidance, providing coaching and training to participating students.

"We hope this initiative will help student businesses thrive, focusing on aspects such as legalities, including Intellectual Property registration and obtaining a Business Identification Number. Furthermore, it aims to strengthen students' marketing capabilities, making them competitive and exceptional," she concluded. (Andhiko Ta/Dzulfiqor Ammar)
