During the event, BNI proudly hosted an interactive booth showcasing a diverse array of handcrafted products, bags, and wallets created by its fostered MSMEs. This booth not only served as an educational hub but also functioned as an invaluable medium to expand market access for talented local MSME entrepreneurs.
Ronny further elaborated that BNI’s participation aligns perfectly with its comprehensive three-stage MSME empowerment strategy: Go Productive, Go Digital, and Go Global. This forward-thinking approach is meticulously designed to enhance business capacity while significantly broadening MSME market penetration, even to an international scale.
As part of the NFHE agenda, BNI also played a vital role as a speaker in a captivating talk show session. The discussion focused on crucial topics such as supporting access to financing for business actors and providing targeted financial education for diverse segments, including MSMEs, teachers, migrant workers, university students, and communities dedicated to environmental stewardship.
According to Ronny, robust collaboration among various stakeholders is absolutely essential for strengthening financial literacy and inclusion, and for accelerating the upward mobility of MSMEs. “This participation further highlights BNI’s pivotal role as an ‘Agent of Development,’ steadfastly supporting government programs with principles of prudence and a clear orientation towards sustainable profit,” he added.
