HIPMI Partners with PSDKU Unpad Pangandaran to Bring in SME Experts from the Netherlands

 PSDKU Unpad Pangandaran is part of the pentahelix team for SMEs in Pangandaran Regency, initiated by the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) of Pangandaran. As an initial program, this team initiated cooperation with PUM Senior Experts Netherlands, a European NGO that provides experts for developing countries.

 Launched on Wednesday (January 31, 2024), this program, in the form of business consultation services for SMEs, runs for seven days.

 In this program, Leendert Noordermeer, former General Manager of Christian Dior cosmetics in the Netherlands, serves as a consultant. Leendert is scheduled to visit 11 selected SMEs to share his experience across various business topics.

 The Director of PSDKU Unpad Pangandaran, Alexander M. A. Khan, expressed appreciation for the program led by the local young entrepreneurs' community. According to Alex, his party is committed to involving faculty members, specifically Muhammad Rifqi Ismiraj from the Animal Husbandry Study Program at PSDKU UNPAD Pangandaran, as an English interpreter to ensure there are no language barriers throughout the program.

 “Kami sangat bangga bisa menjadi bagian dari sebuah perubahan di Pangandaran dan berkontribusi dalam pengembangan UMKM secara nyata,” ujar Alex. Setelah berlangsung selama 7 hari berturut-turut, program ini ditutup pada Selasa, 6 Februari 2024.
