Students Exchange, Joint Research, and Dual Degree program would be the key points in the agreement. A memorandum of understanding was signed by Prof Sudarso Kaderi Wiryono (Dean) and Dr Hooi Den Huan (Director) aiming to strengthen academic cooperation between the two institutions.
The MoU signed was held in the Inaugural Technopreneurship Forum organized by NTC, SBM, and MarkPlus to raise the topic of “Driving Sustainable Economic Growth: Science, Innovation and Business”. Participated by nations key persons such as Prof Kuntoro Mangkusubroto (Founder of SBM ITB) and Dr. Mari Elka Pangestu (Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy), this forum also invited Bertil Andersson (President of NTU) and Koh Boon Hwee (Chairman of NTU Board of Trustees).
Focusing on the need of driving sustainable growth through science, innovation, and business, the forum aimed to create further awareness of powerful economic impact of technopreneurship and to encourage the growth of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship within both Singapore and Indonesia. “Each individual must have an enterprising mindset to higher productivity, embrace the standard and quality of life for our people,” said Koh Boon Hwee in his opening speech.
As Kuntoro Mangkusubroto delivered his welcoming on stage, he attracted the audience by saying “Almost the best entrepreneurs in Indonesia have graduated from ITB after 8 until 9 years studying at ITB. Some of them got dropped out from ITB. Big names like Bill Gates also dropped out from the University. So, I think that it is good Pak Akhmaloka (Rector of ITB) if we could produce more dropped out students.”
When Marie Elka Pangestu shared her view on sustainability, she went to state the big three parameters. “The world urgently needs to address the sustainable development challenges. It has been described about three main challenges. There are ending poverty, increasing social inclusion, and sustainable planet. So, this is kind of three big parameters of sustainable,” said the Indonesia’s Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.
The main objectives of this forum are two-fold.
Firstly, it aimed to strengthen the academic cooperation and exchange between Singapore and Indonesia. Institut Teknologi Bandung and Nanyang Technological University are among the top universities in Asia and their respective School of Business and Management and the Nanyang Technopreneurship Center are in the forefront of innovative intrapreneurial/entrepreneurial educational pedagogies. This forum provided an excellent platform for extending relations, network and collaborations between two world class academic institutions and the industry.
Secondly, this forum hoped to further create awareness of the powerful economic impact of intrapreneurship/entrepreneurship, and to encourage more creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship at all levels in both countries.
NTC and ITB’s School of Business and Management are well-placed to initiate the sharing of entrepreneurship-related issues as both are leading education institutes at the forefront of technology and entrepreneurial education.
