VOInews, Tangerang: Innovative works from the vocational education sector are adding vibrancy to the Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2024 and Jakarta Muslim Fashion Week (JMFW) 2025. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), through the Directorate General of Vocational Education, is taking part in this major trade exhibition and Muslim fashion ecosystem event in Indonesia.
TEI 2024 and JMFW 2025 are being held at ICE BSD, Tangerang, Banten, from October 9 to 12, 2024. President Joko Widodo officially opened TEI 2024 on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. On the same day, Minister of Trade Zulfikar Hasan inaugurated the opening of JMFW 2025. Both events have become a focal point for industry players and the international community.
During the "Road to TEI 2024 and JMFW 2025" Media Discussion event on Friday (10/4), the Secretary of the Directorate General of Vocational Education, Saryadi, highlighted that participation in this event is a golden opportunity to showcase vocational talents on the international stage. "TEI 2024 and JMFW 2025 have attracted 9,000 international buyers, with a 10% increase in participants from the previous year and the involvement of 1,300 industries," he stated.
Saryadi further emphasized that the involvement of vocational talents in TEI 2024 is proof of the excellence of vocational education products. "Being part of TEI 2024 and JMFW 2025 demonstrates that vocational creations are competitive in quality. This includes flagship products from Kemendikbudristek programs such as the Matching Fund and the Center of Excellence Vocational Schools," he added.
Highlighting Innovative Vocational Products at the Kemendikbudristek Booth
The Kemendikbudristek booth at TEI 2024 showcases a range of innovative works from vocational education institutions in Indonesia, ready to compete in both national and international markets. Ten vocational education institutions are exhibiting their creations, including Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya, Politeknik Negeri Batam, and SMK PIKA Semarang.
At the press conference for the opening of TEI 2024 and JMFW 2025, Adi Nuryanto, Director of Industry and Business World Alignment and Partnerships (Mitras DUDI), emphasized the importance of industry collaboration in enhancing the skills of vocational students. "The innovative products displayed are the result of Link and Match with the industry, including curated fashion works for JMFW 2025," he explained.
One of the standout innovations is the electric sportbike from Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya, developed in partnership with PT Cipta Raya Teknovasi. This eco-friendly sportbike is designed for high performance and optimal speed. "This bike is designed for sport motorbike enthusiasts with a power of 10KW and a voltage of 96V, using electric technology for better fuel efficiency," said Rahardhita Widyatra Sudibyo, a lecturer in the Telecommunications Engineering Program.
In addition to automotive products, the Kemendikbudristek booth at TEI 2024 also features manufacturing and handicraft products, including wooden crafts from SMK PIKA Semarang. After successfully crafting a chair for Pope Francis last September, this vocational school is once again showcasing the skilled handiwork of its students in creating unique furniture. "We received orders for a set of guest table-chairs that are uniquely designed, elegant, and made from eco-friendly materials," shared Marsono, the Head of SMK PIKA Semarang.
Located in Hall 6 of ICE BSD, the Kemendikbudristek booth demonstrates that Indonesian vocational education can produce innovations that align with technological advancements and global industrial needs.
