Yogyakarta, May 24, 2025 — The Alumni Association of Dian Nusantara University (IKA UNDIRA) and the Alumni Association of Trisakti University (IKA Trisakti) have officially established a strategic partnership. The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) marks the beginning of a collaborative effort between the two educational institutions to build a more supportive and effective entrepreneurial ecosystem.

This collaboration is aimed not only at creating business opportunities for alumni through the establishment of an Alumni Business Incubator Hub, but also at involving local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). It is expected that the synergy between the academic sector and business actors will make a tangible contribution to national economic growth, particularly within the MSME sector.

Beyond advancing business development, this partnership also encompasses several other key initiatives:

1. Establishment of a Business Consortium
   This initiative presents a collaborative platform that connects alumni and MSMEs within a single business consortium. In addition to strengthening networking opportunities, it also provides access to new investment prospects, expected to accelerate innovation and business growth among its members.
   

2. Scientific Publications and Publishing
   As part of the academic spirit, the collaboration supports the publication of alumni works in the form of books, scientific journals, and digital media. The objective is to elevate the academic reputation of business practitioners while promoting knowledge exchange in the fields of economics and business.
   

3. Entrepreneur Competency Development
   Periodic programs such as workshops, seminars, training sessions, and short courses are designed to keep alumni updated with current knowledge and skills. This is crucial in ensuring that business practitioners remain adaptive and relevant in an ever-evolving market.
   

The Chairman of IKA Trisakti, Maman Abdurrahman, welcomed the partnership with optimism. He emphasized that inter-organizational synergy would have a significant impact, particularly in empowering MSMEs led by alumni.

Similarly, IKA UNDIRA representative Eriklex Donald, SE., MM., stated that this collaboration reflects a genuine commitment to supporting innovation and enterprise development among alumni.

This initiative is expected to become a sustainable partnership model that promotes synergy among graduates in creating added value, expanding their contribution to the national economy, and increasing public literacy and awareness of the business landscape in Indonesia.
