JAKARTA - Chairman of the Central Executive Board of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (BPP HIPMI) Mardani Maming asked for government support to develop technological innovation in the country. This is because the existing technology is still controlled by other nations.

Therefore, Maming hopes that all parties can work together to create technological innovations. The goal is to improve the economy in the future.

"Unfortunately, most of them are still controlled by other nations without any efforts to create and develop the nation's children. Innovation and technology do not fall from the sky, but are born from the seriousness of the nation's children in researching and studying in laboratories in the social environment," he said at the opening of the 2021 HIPMI National Coordination Meeting. online, Friday, March 5.

Maming said, innovation and technology need to be encouraged and enhanced through collaborative partnerships between campuses and research institutions as innovators, supported by government agencies in the fields of research and technology, developed by the business world and financed by financial institutions.

"So far, there has not been a symbiotic relationship between these four parts. Campuses and research institutions should increase research in fields related to the development of abundant natural resources in Indonesia," he said.

Meanwhile, the business world, especially young entrepreneurs, can develop it economically and apply it in their business activities.

Meanwhile, both banking and non-bank financing institutions also need to increase attention to young entrepreneurs, especially those based on innovation and technology. Of course all of them require government support through the Ministry of Research and Technology and other relevant ministries.

"If these four institutions can be well connected and work together, we will see the emergence of a more competitive Indonesian economy in the future. HIPMI is ready to contribute positively to the development of this cooperation," he said.
