JAKARTA PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk has again held the 2022 Mandiri Young Entrepreneurs (WMM) competition to encourage the birth of excellent creative young entrepreneurs.

Bank Mandiri Corporate Secretary Rudi Asaturridha said this event has the potential to develop an innovative business sector and can contribute to the national Indonesian economy.

"After 17 years of the Mandiri Young Entrepreneurs' event, we hope to continue to consistently accommodate superior entrepreneurs so that they develop and level up from local to national, national to global," he said in a written statement on Tuesday, September 27.

According to Rudi, this time's WMM event is packaged in an entertaining show in the Digital Series format. Later, people can feel it directly and learn together through the Youtube digital platform.

Not only that, WMM this time also brought back the "Festival Expo WMM" which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this Expo, Bank Mandiri invites all fostered partners who are part of the company's CSR program.

"WMM 2022 is also part of a series of celebrations for Bank Mandiri's 24th anniversary, where this event is our symbol for the business world and young Indonesian business actors. Hopefully, this routine agenda can appreciate young business actors for the enthusiasm and innovation they have made for Indonesia's economic progress," explained Rudi.

On the same occasion, Bank Mandiri Vice President CSR Diwangkoro Ratam stated that the difference between WMM 2022 is divided into new sub categories, namely Boga or food businesses, then creative categories, and entertainment.

"All participants will get new experience and learning on how to manage and maximize business potential, as well as fight for the winning position with a total prize of Rp. 2 billion," he said.

One of the differences in the implementation of WMM 2022 is to open the santripreneur category. This is done to encourage the capacity of students throughout Indonesia to have the spirit of entrepreneurship and is expected to be part of the motor of the national economy in the future.

For information, WMM has become one of the favorite prestigious events that accommodates thousands of young entrepreneurs. It is noted that more than 50,000 young entrepreneurs from all over Indonesia have become part of this competition, both as champions, finalists, and participants.

Meanwhile, this year the most brilliant business idea also has the opportunity to get a prize of Rp. 500 million. Furthermore, the selection of WMM competitions for young entrepreneurs will be carried out in each region with the initial stages of registration through access to the website www.wmm.id on 27 September - 27 October 2022.
