This year E-WEEK 2020 consistently maintains the scope of its events at the international level, where this year's E-WEEK has a big theme "Encourage Youth Creativity for Universe". E-WEEK consistently maintains the scope of its events at the international level because with the emergence of the VUCA era some time ago, all countries in every part of the world must be ready to face it, which of course an uncertainty will have a global impact on the economy and other important sectors that also involve the government and society.
Indonesia, as a member of the global community, consistently fosters cooperation and positive relationships with other nations. With a limited timeframe, it is hoped that the "Encourage Youth Creativity for Universe" initiative will be enjoyed by both Indonesian citizens and international delegates, as well as all involved parties. Furthermore, the theme "Encourage Youth Creativity for Universe" is expected to serve as a creative, innovative, and solution-oriented platform for addressing the challenges of global uncertainty.
