Batam (ANTARA) - Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno said that young entrepreneurs are playing the role of pillars of Indonesia's economic growth."Earlier, we have seen enthusiasm from mothers, and now, we can see the same from youths. Both groups are the pillars of our economic growth. Therefore, we will direct them," he added after attending the "Seminar and 2023 Local Heroes Award" event in Batam city, Riau Islands, on Saturday.
He also expressed the hope that both groups of entrepreneurs will tap the potential to stimulate the country's economic growth, both at home and from abroad.
The rise in young business actors actively participating in the country's economic activities is expected to help the government create more jobs, he added.
"We captured the high enthusiasm expressed by them (the youths). I think related stakeholders should collaborate to incubate their businesses. I believe that the business entities we saw earlier, such as Hanika and Sidomulyo, will become big enterprises in 10 to 15 years," he said.
