Book Description
The future of Indonesia’s economy lies in the hands of its young entrepreneurs. In recent years, entrepreneurship education has become increasingly important in Southeast Asia’s largest economy. It is seen as a strategic way to harness the untapped potential of the country’s “demographic bonus” and to address persistent high youth unemployment. This publication draws on lessons and good practices from incubation centers in three public higher education institutions in Indonesia and an entrepreneurship training model called the Asia Entrepreneurship Training Program. Recommendations look at how similar programs can be improved in other universities, with a focus on management and resources, financial sustainability, mentorship and training, business services and facilities, graduation and post-incubation, and documentation and evaluation.
