Entrepreneurship

Young generations are Indonesia’s greatest asset. In an era of globalization and worldwide market trends, ITS encourages its students not only to be satisfied with becoming employees but also to aspire to be technopreneurs. As part of this mission, ITS has established a business incubator to support students who wish to start and grow their own businesses during their academic journey.

Entrepreneurial activities organized by the Subdirectorate of Entrepreneurship and Career Development aim to foster an entrepreneurial spirit within the ITS community. These initiatives are designed to educate and nurture young entrepreneurs, equipping them to become competitive and growth-oriented business leaders. All programs are aligned with ITS’s strategic plan for entrepreneurship development, which targets the emergence of successful technology-based entrepreneurs by 2030.

Beyond mentorship, ITS also provides funding to support promising student-run businesses. Through this incubator, not only are digital start-ups developed, but also various offline businesses ranging from small-scale to large-scale enterprises.

The types of activities facilitated by the Subdirectorate include:
