ACEH — There is a lot of potential and ideas from local start-up companies in Indonesia, AMANAH is here to accommodate the young generation continuing to develop.
This effort is realized in the ADICT Program from the Aceh Youth Creative Hub (AYCH) or the Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul and Great Center Building (AMANAH).
The Aceh Digital Innovation and Creativity Techfest (ADICT) private class program is an effort to develop startup potential which is actually extraordinary.
One of the mentors from the event, Muammar Gaddafi, considered that the existence of AMANAH was very important because it was a forum for various youth potentials and ideas.
“So actually our startups have potential in Aceh. However, what needs to be developed further is the ecosystem. “So, when they have an idea, they also have a platform,” he said.
No half-hearted, in an effort to encourage the development of local start-up companies, AMANAH brings in mentors who are practitioners and experts in their fields.
The participants will continue to take part in mentoring activities, which will later be able to develop Acehnese startups to understand and explore business opportunities in the digital industry.
With the ADICT program from AMANAH, Aceh’s startup development, which was previously less than optimal due to various obstacles, can now be more encouraged to overcome these obstacles.
“With this mentoring, knowledge can be provided from mentors who are experts in their fields. “So, later startup friends can gain as much knowledge as possible related to how to develop their startup,” said Muammar
Masya Pratiwi, as one of the participants, said that thanks to AMANAH, she was able to learn a lot and had the opportunity to get direct input from experts in the business world.
“We got quite a lot of insights from the mentors for the good and improvement of our startup in the future,” he said. On another occasion, the Deputy Minister of Communication and Information (Wamenkominfo), Nezar Patria, explained that the AMANAH program aims to become a forum for millennials who have interest and talent in the startup sector.
“This is a forum for millennials in Aceh who are interested in developing startup businesses,” he explained.
