Director of ITB Science and Technology, Ir. Harry Devianto, Ph.D., IPM., ASEAN Eng., states that each college has characteristics and challenges each in developing innovation and entrepreneurship. That difference, he thought, could be an opportunity to build collaboration and strengthen interagency capacity. "Every university has its own challenges. There are strong ones technically, but still need to strengthen the immediate aspect of practice, as well as vice versa. From those differences, we could build collaboration, "Harry said.

One of the main discussions is strengthening the business capacity for inventors and developers of technology. The PUS team announced that once a technology is successfully developed, the next challenge is to determine a commercial strategy and find the right market target. It's come to the attention in the development of the technology-based startup at PUS, which has technical powers, particularly in robotics, but still faces the challenge of pushing an inventory to develop its innovation into startup.
Discussions also discuss the chances of collaboration in incubation and business acceleration, including an appeal study regarding license management and royalties and research and development process performed by the DKST ITB startup. The exchange of experiences is expected to give new perspective to both institutions in developing technology-based startup and management systems.

This visit is expected to be the first step in building collaboration between the DKST ITB and PENS, especially in strengthening the incubation capacity, development of business strategy, commercial innovation, and expanding the startup network based on technology. Interagency collaboration is also expected to encourage the utilization of college innovation to be a valuable solution and an impact on society.
