Mataram, University of Mataram – The Innovation and Business Incubator (KUBINOV) of the Research and Community Service Institute of the University of Mataram (LPPM Unram), held a Batch 2 Entrepreneurship Scheme Proposal Presentation activity which was attended by dozens of student teams from various study programs. This activity took place in the LPPM Main Conference Room on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.

This activity is a platform for students to present research-based business ideas that have real potential in improving the welfare of society and is intended to accelerate the research-based entrepreneurship ecosystem towards social impact and a stronger university reputation.

On this occasion, the Head of the KUBINOV Center, Dr. Didy Ika Supryadi, SE, MM, was present, accompanied by the Secretary, Sela Antesty, ST, M.Eng; Ir. Fera Fitri Salsabila, ST, MT; Abdurrahman, SE, MM; and Isra Dewi Kuntary Ibrahim, SE, MM.

This entrepreneurship scheme is designed as a means of incubating creative ideas that are rooted in the results of student research and supervisors. Each proposal is not only assessed in terms of product or service innovation, but also business feasibility, market potential, and socio-economic impact.

Head of the KUBINOV Center, Dr. Didy, in his speech stated, “We want to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem that not only encourages students to become entrepreneurs, but also problem solvers who are able to answer real challenges in society through a research and technology approach.”

This program is part of the university’s commitment to support entrepreneurial universities, where the campus is not only a center of education and research, but also a driver of social and economic innovation. Proposals that pass the selection will receive intensive mentoring, funding, and access to industry networks and business incubators.

In addition to strengthening students’ capacity to create independent workplaces, this activity is also expected to increase the impact of the university’s presence in the community. The involvement of students in research-based entrepreneurial projects shows the active role of the campus in building sustainable solutions, as well as enhancing the university’s reputation at the regional and national levels.

Some of the excellent proposals presented included functional food product innovations from local resources, digital applications for small and medium enterprises (UMKM), and environmentally friendly technology for waste management. Collaborative spirit and orientation towards sustainability characterized the student presentations this time.

Through this batch 2 entrepreneurship scheme, KUBINOV LPPM Unram continues to encourage the transformation of higher education to be more adaptive, relevant, and impactful.
