The Ministry Of Industry Facilitates 10 Industrial Actors To Advance To Class In The 2025 CBI Program

The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) continues to encourage the birth of new entrepreneurs in various regions through business assistance programs.

Program yang sering dilakukan Kemenperin adalah melalui Creative Business Incubator (CBI). Sehingga, pelaku industri kreatif di sektor fashion dan kriya lebih adaptif, berkembang dan naik kelas.

CBI is a collaboration between the Directorate General of Small, Medium and Multifarious Industries (IKMA) through the Fashion and Craft Industrial Empowerment Center (BPIFK) with practitioners and academics in the fields of entrepreneurship and business.

Program coaching ini merupakan tahap pendampingan kedua setelah pendampingan klasikal incubator bisnis yang digelar tahun lalu.

"Through this CBI coaching, as many as 10 selected IKMs will be accompanied by a mentor who will help answer the problems experienced in business development, so that they can advance to class," said Director General of IKMA at the Ministry of Industry Reni Yanita as quoted from her written statement, Monday, May 19.

It is known, the Coaching Program is an implementation of a business development plan drawn up in the classic class stage (first year of the CBI program).

Reni said the 2025 Coaching Program would be implemented for approximately five months, with a structured mentoring target.

The 10 local brands selected in the 2025 CBI Coaching, namely Delova Wardro, Hanagra, CV Amod Bali, Wiras Silver Bali, PT Karya Rappo Indonesia, Kalasiris, JB Etnnic, Astraea Leather Craft and Ulur Wiji.

"Hopefully, they can follow in the footsteps of CBI alumni who have succeeded in increasing production capacity, increasing turnover and upgrading from micro to small scale or from small to medium scale," he said.

Based on research conducted by Ciputra University, as many as 74.03 percent of businesses will survive and develop after being accompanied by mentors.

Proper assistance is believed to be able to accelerate growth, reduce the risk of failure and encourage the creation of more sustainable businesses.

According to Reni, this mentoring collaboration in the field of entrepreneurship is an important program to improve the ability and competitiveness of business people.

Moreover, reflecting from year to year, the CBI Coaching Program has succeeded in helping its alumni in overcoming problems and developing business.

"(The existence) of synergy and collaboration in business assistance for industry players or young entrepreneurs is also expected to strengthen the contribution of the national manufacturing industry," concluded Reni.
