The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, invited young entrepreneurs to take advantage of business opportunities as a form of contribution and collaboration from the regions in supporting the national economy.

The invitation was conveyed by Ganjar Pranowo after he finished opening the Central Java HIPMI Akbar Education and Training Center at the Prof. Soedarto Building, Diponegoro University, Semarang.

"I order the world to be disrupted, there are many new opportunities, collaboration is important. So our hope is that in today's recruitment and training there will be a discourse on how the macroeconomic condition is and how to manage the micro," said Ganjar Pranowo, February 11.

This opportunity is like the government's policy in making it easier for entrepreneurs.

For example, when the government provides encouragement for the use and purchase of domestic products. In addition, the government also provides KUR or People's Business Credit with low interest rates.

"Well, this is their opportunity. For example, when the government issues a KUR whose ceiling is up to Rp. 500 million. It feels like the interest rate will drop much lower, this will also be their opportunity. What the president emphasized is that even the regions use local products, so live they (entrepreneurs)," said Ganjar.

Of course, the opportunities that have been created by the government must be utilized properly by all young entrepreneurs.

Even so, better preparation is still needed in order to get this opportunity.

"There is only this opportunity that they must prepare well, and this kind of training becomes so important," he said.

Another thing that needs to be prepared by entrepreneurs is to form collaborations or networks. Cooperation in the business world, including with KADIN and also the government, will create good cohesion in the regional and national economy.

"Continue to work with the business world, with KADIN, with the government, so that we will be able to rise together. This young entrepreneur from HIPMI will be able to become a pioneer both in the sector and in the areas where they are," said Ganjar.

Ganjar Pranowo also explained that related to the investment climate in Central Java, it is getting better.

According to Ganjar Pranowo, this good climate is able to attract a lot of investment and turn the wheels of the economy in the Central Java region.

So far, Ganjar has always emphasized that a good investment climate in Central Java must be maintained together between the government, business actors, and workers.

"This investment climate must be maintained properly. Although many ridicule Central Java because the UMP is low, I want to make sure that entrepreneurs and laborers both benefit. Workers are really paid and the industry is still rolling," said Ganjar Pranowo.
