IBC collaborated with ASBF (Asia Small Business Federation) Jakarta Regional and TMC (Trisakti Marketing Club) to deliver this seminar. We chose the theme: “Navigating Our Future Together: Boosting Export Growth Through AI”.
-
“Navigating Our Future Together” is also the core theme of the 2026 ASEAN Forum under the Philippines’ leadership. Looking ahead to 2027, when Singapore assumes leadership, digital economy growth will become a key focus. This aligns with broader efforts to advance regional integration through the implementation of a comprehensive digital trade framework.
-
In this context, the seminar was designed to prepare and encourage Indonesian SMEs to strengthen their digital literacy and readiness.
-
The theme attracted several prominent figures, including:
1. Prof. Kadarsah Suryadi, Rector of Trisakti University
2. Hermawan Kartajaya, Founder & Chairman of MCorp
3. Fajarini Puntodewi, Director General of PEN, Ministry of Trade

During the seminar, IBC also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ASBF and TMC.
