As part of the UNESCO UNITWIN project, Handong Global University (President Dosoung Choi) organized the '2023 Next Generation Entrepreneurship Training Workshop in Indonesia' in collaboration with Jakarta International University (JIU) at the Handong-ASEAN Start-up & Innovation Center in Indonesia from November 22 to 23.

The event targeted over 50 professors and students from Jakarta International University. Professors Beom Ha Ji and Hye Gyu Lee from the School of Management and Economics of Handong Global University, along with Professors Jeong Hwa Han and Sung Jin Choi from Hanyang University, and Dr. Eun Chang Choi from Impactive AI, participated as lecturers. The two-day workshop covered theoretical and practical education on topics such as △ Smart Entrepreneurship in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution △ Entrepreneurial Mindset △ AI Innovation for Entrepreneurs. On the last day of the workshop, President Dosoung Choi of Handong Global University held a seminar on examples of higher education for local Indonesian teachers and students.

The workshop served as a follow-up to the Entrepreneurship Workshop in Indonesia hosted by Handong Global University's UNITWIN program in June. The objective is to evaluate and mentor potential entrepreneurial ideas of Indonesian students who have continuously received entrepreneurship education through the UNITWIN program. The aim is to help these students develop their ideas into viable business projects.

Especially, President Dosoung Choi personally visited our university, delivering a lecture on Handong Global University's entrepreneurship education and talent development model, allowing JIU faculty to gain deeper insights into the direction of future higher education."

After this workshop, Handong International Development Cooperation Agency plans to continue mentoring Jakarta International University students through the Handong UNITWIN project, further promoting the discovery of young entrepreneurs.
