The winner of the Business Competition will receive a cash prize of IDR 90 million, which will be announced on Appreciation Night on 27 June.

Jakpreneur Fest 2021 also has Super Class and Personal Class training programs with mentors from various industries. These two classes can be accessed for free on the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government YouTube channel, www.jakpreneurfest and Shopee Live on 20-22 June.

The DKI Provincial Government is also cooperating with Shopee for the 2021 Jakpreneur Fest, in the form of the Jakpreneur Market which will be held on the platform from June 21 to 30. The Jakpreneur market is filled with MSME products and local brands from Jakarta.

President Director of the Jakarta Experience Board, Novita Dewi, said that the Jakpreneur Fest 2021 series of events aimed to improve business capabilities, develop MSMEs, increase basic sales transactions and encourage entrepreneurial skills.
