Explore 2024 is a major work program of the Research and Development (RnD) division of the FEB Universitas AirlanggaStudent Cooperative. This year we held an explore event with the theme "Green Preneurship Workshop in Action: Case Studies of Successful Sustainable Businesses". This activity aims to encourage environmentally friendly business innovation among students in Indonesia, especially students of the faculty of economics and business. Greenpreneurship has an important role in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), for example SDG 4 (quality education) to educate the importance of sustainable business, SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) to be able to create new jobs in the green economy sector, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and infrastructure) encourages innovation in environmentally friendly technologies and products, and SDG 12 responsible consumption and production which will ultimately develop solutions to environmental problems and combat environmental change SDG 13.
The Explore activity consists of two categories of activities: an offline workshop and an online Business Model Canvas (BMC). The Workshop sub-activity will be held first. The workshop activity is a two-way dialogue in the form of material delivery by the speaker, a question and answer session, and followed by a practice session on creating a simple business model canvas design by participants. Later, two-three groups will present it and be assessed by the resource person. Meanwhile, the Business Model Canvas (BMC) sub-activity will be held one week after the workshop activity, and it is hoped that workshop participants will participate as a follow-up or output from the training at the previous workshop event.
By participating in this activity, participants will understand the concept of greenpreneurship and its importance in building sustainable and environmentally friendly businesses, as well as learn successful green business strategies and models. Participants will also gain skills in building and managing green businesses and analyzing markets and opportunities. Explore 2024 is an important program for KOPMEB to demonstrate its commitment to supporting the achievement of the SDGs. By providing training, mentoring, and access to resources to MSMEs, KOPMEB can help them start and develop successful and sustainable green businesses. This will ultimately contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and sustainable economic development in Indonesia.
