JAKARTA - The Central Board of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (BPP Hipmi) stated that all cadres were prepared to transform into the digital business world, as an effort to adapt to the times and technology developments.

"All of us young people are preparing to transform. This means that Hipmi is preparing all its cadres to be able to transform into the digital world," said Hipmi Akbar Himawan Buchari at the 52nd anniversary of this organization in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, June 11.

He said that in the midst of the digital era, economic challenges were the focus and according to the message conveyed by President Joko Widodo to anticipate these challenges.

Therefore, Hipmi identified and trained the best cadres in this field so that they could spearhead in the face of dynamic economic changes in the future.

"Because this is a digital era and the President advised that the challenges in the future that will be faced are the challenges of the digital economy. For that, we are preparing our best cadres," said Akbar.

He mentioned one of Hipmi cadres who has successfully implemented a digital business, namely "Chicken Smart Farming". The company, which was initiated by a Hipmi cadre, has changed the landscape of farms by applying the concept of digital farming.

Starting from a small scale, with only a few hundred tails, they have now managed to increase the number to 45 million, having a positive impact in the livestock industry.

Akbar said that the company is a clear example of how young entrepreneurs can take advantage of technology to increase productivity and efficiency in their business.

In addition, Akbar also said that currently his party is also preparing cadres to provide support for industrial downstreaming.

He hopes that Hipmi cadres can provide additional impetus for the development of the domestic industry and the nation's economy.

"Don't let this opportunity be taken by other people. Well, this is what in the future we can work together with the government with several forms of affirmations of government alignment with Hipmi's friends. We believe and believe that we will be able to live with this," said Akbar.

Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) invited the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi) to focus on overseeing the demographic bonus opportunity in achieving Indonesia Gold 2045.

"Be careful about this, in the 30s, in 2030, in 2035, 2040 it will reach its peak and preparations for the quality of human resources must really be planned, prepared tactically," said the President in his remarks on the agenda of Hipmi's 52nd Anniversary in Jakarta, Monday.

The President emphasized the need for tactical preparation to manage this demographic bonus wisely in order to really provide benefits in an effort towards an Advanced Indonesia.

In addition, the President also reminded about technological disruption. The President emphasized the importance of not being wrong in anticipating the impact of technological developments, as well as appreciating the skills of Hipmi members who are the digital generation.

"It must be seen and observed so that we are wrong in anticipating technological disruption. I think Hipmi is all used to it because all Hipmi members are the digital generation, if I am the analog generation, so the difference is very far away," he said.

On this occasion, President Jokowi also highlighted changes in the business landscape and the economy that will be caused by technological disruption.

The President is optimistic that Hipmi, known as a forum for young people who are dynamic, will be able to adapt quickly to this change.
