Arif Kurniawan who is an alumnus of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics said that we should not be afraid of the amount of competitors. As long as we are creative and innovative, the presence of competitors will become our own challenge to develop our business.
The second speaker is Ir Daniel Lukito, M.M., M.Sc., founder of PT. Jordan Plastik. Daniel is currently still listed as a student in the Doctoral Program in Economics of Undip.
