“Technology is a fundamental aspect in entrepreneurship, there are two things needed to be done in running a technology-based business, also known as technopreneurship. First, we need to know the basic needs and second, we need to know the technological needs,” uttered the rector of Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus), Prof. Dr. Ir. Edi Noersasongko, M. Kom., after launching the Independent Entrepreneurship Program (WMK).
Entrepreneurship or also commonly known as ‘technopreneurship’ is a technology-based business. This kind of entrepreneurship opens new business opportunities to utilize technology.
According to the rector, Technopreneurship has played an important role in utilizing technology to fulfill various goals. First, to assist people to keep maintaining their relationships and to produce several unpredictable products and solutions that might benefit many people.
Udinus’ creations, including the Gamelan Robot and the Chess Robot of Udinus Campus (Rocaku) are two of the proof of technology-based entrepreneurship. With the support of technology, seemingly outdated things become valuable and beneficial assets to the general public,” The rector stated.
At the moment, Udinus has launched the WMK Program, designed as a valuable resource for students to gain entrepreneurship knowledge. In addition, the students will also acquire direct guidance in establishing a business.
The grand launching took place on the third floor of E building, with the entire Udinus community actively participating. Prof. Dr. Ir. Edi Noersasongko, M.Kom., the chancellor of Udinus, officially inaugurated the WMK program by striking the Gong.
Officially the WMK Program is not exclusive to Udinus Students, but it’s also open to all university students in Indonesia. The program has the theme ‘Precision Technopreneurship’ meaning that Udinus has developed a program based on Technological Precision using the Artificial and Business Intelligence approach to Strengthen the Continuous Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.
