Indonesia's Agency for Policy Strategy (BSKDN) under the Ministry of Home Affairs has announced its intention to strengthen collaboration with universities to foster innovation at the regional level. This initiative aims to unlock the potential of various regions across the country and contribute to their sustainable development. BSKDN anticipates that by leveraging the research and development capabilities and expertise of universities, concrete solutions can be generated to address the challenges faced by local communities. The enhanced collaboration with universities is expected to contribute to the revitalization of regional economies and the improvement of residents' quality of life.
