Reported by Aldi Geri Lumban Tobing | Translated by Maria Inggita
The Jakarta Maritime, Agriculture, and Food Security (KPKP) Agency has launched Jakpreneur Corner as a special space for the development of fostered micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
We will facilitate them if they have limited space or equipment to promote their products
Jakpreneur Corner was built by utilizing a computer room on the 5th floor of the Jakarta KPKP Agency Office which is no longer used.
The 50-square-meters room was designed in a minimalist concept but offered maximum functionality. Several office inventories in the room, such as computer desks, file cabinets, and safes were used to make the Jakpreneur Corner look more interactive. It displayed Jakpreneurs products and was equipped with a mini cafe, podcast, and a place to sit or relax on the floor (lesehan).
