JAKARTA - The prospective Chairman of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) Ade Jona Prasetyo officially returned the registration form for the 2026-2029 period.

He became the first candidate to complete the stage ahead of the 18th HIPMI National Congress (Munas).

Jona emphasized his commitment to building HIPMI as an "economic power network" that strengthens the business network among members.

"The return of the form is part of the effort towards the XVIII HIPMI National Congress," said Jona, Friday,

Jona, who also serves as Deputy General Treasurer of BPP HIPMI, assessed that the young entrepreneur organization needs to strengthen cross-regional collaboration to encourage more productive internal economic circulation.

He has the support of at least eight Regional Management Agencies (BPD), including from North Sumatra, Aceh, Jambi, West Sumatra, Bengkulu, Riau Islands, Southeast Sulawesi, and Banten.

However, Jona emphasized that he would continue to expand national support. "We will embrace all BPD across Indonesia to strengthen the HIPMI economic network," he added.

In the midst of the contest, he emphasized the importance of healthy competition. According to him, all candidates are part of the same ecosystem so that the stability of the organization must be maintained.

With the tagline "Stepping, Embracing, and Collaborating", Jona assessed that HIPMI can become a driving force for an economy based on a network of young entrepreneurs who are connected and mutually beneficial.
