JAKARTA - Chairman of the Central Executive Board of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (BPP HIPMI) Mardani H. Maming encourages young people to dare to become novice entrepreneurs. He said this when giving a speech at the HIPMI 50th Golden Anniversary event at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) Senayan, Friday 10 June.
Towards Golden Indonesia 2045, Maming invites the younger generation and young entrepreneurs to have the mindset and mentality of an entrepreneur, as well as to have a strong foundation of nationalism. In addition, young Indonesian entrepreneurs in facing the 4.0 industrial revolution must have a concept that is a major player.
"HIPMI has been established for 50 years where this organization has produced young leaders, not only ministers, but also the President of the Republic of Indonesia. HIPMI will be a barometer in 2045, whoever becomes a leader in the future, I believe cannot be separated from HIPMI cadres. We must encourage young people to become entrepreneurs and become national leaders in the future. The entrepreneurial mindset needs to be instilled from an early age," said Maming.
According to him, HIPMI are cadres who are prepared not only to become HIPMI cadres to become entrepreneurs, but HIPMI cadres who are prepared to become future leaders.
"I have conveyed that at HIPMI there are four ministers, one of whom is Mr. Bahlil Lahadalia as the Minister of Investment who produces products for anyone investing in the region requiring 10 percent to be issued to regional entrepreneurs. I am sure that this will all go well, in other ministers will have a good impact on the minister or on businessmen in the region," he said.
HIPMI asked national entrepreneurs not only to do business in the country but to look at business opportunities in other countries. This is intended so that the quality of national entrepreneurs can compete with foreign entrepreneurs.
"It is impossible for local children or national entrepreneurs to be able to compete with foreign entrepreneurs whose funds are already in advance, their human resources are more prepared, so we need government intervention to produce business game rings that are in accordance with their own ring. One example is in the regions Usually there are direct appointments under Rp. 200 million, which can be appointed by the regional head, that should be done for young entrepreneurs so that they dare to become entrepreneurs," he said.
The former regent of Tanah Bumbu, South Kalimantan, advised entrepreneurs who are already perfect not to interfere in work under Rp. 200 million. Maming encourages young people to dare to become novice entrepreneurs if big entrepreneurs don't take small jobs.
"HIPMI hopes that young people have access to start a business, one of which is through banking regulations that are friendly to prospective young businessmen. Currently, many young people who have just graduated from high school or college are interested in opening a business. But when they want to borrow capital from banks , the process is quite difficult," added the CEO of PT Maming Six Sembilan Group, which oversees the 56 subsidiaries.
Present at the event, Indonesian President Joko Widodo, Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM Bahlil Lahadalia, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Minister of Trade Muhammad Lutfi, Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, and Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Arsjad Rasjid.
