Go-Digital with UKMIndonesia.ID

By Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta.          

Digitalization cannot be avoided by anyone who wants to continue moving forward to adapt technology advances and information, especially for business actors to promote their products. Capacity building to master information technology continues to be spread out so that all components of society involved in business can utilize and gain profits for their businesses, especially for the small island clusters in eastern Indonesia.

On this occasion, Gilang Herdyan, an alumnus of Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, one of the alumni networks, opened a discussion forum with UKMINDONESIA.ID where he works, which is based in Jakarta, with friends on Sumba Island. Let us get to know the services of this institution first. UKMINDONESIA.ID is a community-based information media for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that publishes information and business insights through websites and social media where MSME players can improve their business through the various information available in the form of MSME development programs and activities, business tips, inspirational experiences, licensing and certification to business development.

Seeing this good opportunity and prospect, Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta linked Multiplicators of Stube HEMAT in Sumba working in the MSME sector including women's empowerment groups with various tied woven products managed by Elisabeth Uru Ndaya, S.Pd.,  young millennial farmers with horticulture coordinated by Frans Fredi Kalikit Bara, S.E., and the East Sumba pig breeder community which was pioneered by Apriyanto Hangga with Gilang. Other colleagues from Southwest Sumba were also participants in the dialogue. The joint dialogue between the Multiplicators of Stube HEMAT in Sumba and UKMINDONESIA.ID run with full enthusiasm for development through the MSME Go Digital program (6/9/2023). This dialogue is initially intended to get to know each other, understand each other's roles, and learn about the MSME Go Digital Program which has main activities including training to establish a network of 'Go Digital' facilitators with the adoption of digital technology and implementation of assistance through the Chat Commerce (WhatsApp Business) application.

Networking is a collective strength and Stube HEMAT is called to continue building networks with alumni to be a mutual collaboration and to bring benefits to the networking parties. Through 'Go Digital' program the businesses that have been initiated will have an increasing impact to the society and the products will receive better responses from the public.***
