Meanwhile, Jakarta Industry, Trade, Cooperative and Small Medium Enterprise (PPKUKM) Agency Head, Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo, said the Creative MSME Bazaar is held to increase product marketing and expanding the Jakpreneur entrepreneur network as well as encouraging the promotion and marketing of MSME products so that they can be recognized, marketed and generate turnover for business actors fostered by the Jakarta Provincial Government.
She added that the event is held for four days from February 24-27, 2025. It is participated by 27 participants in food category, two in beverage category, five in fashion category, and three in art category.
