Inisiasi Wirausaha Musik Oleh Wirausaha Muda Undiknas
Denpasar – Entrepreneurship activities are now increasingly being watched by young people, the dream of being a successful businessman/entrepreneur is often the goal and aspiration of a millennial child. Unlike the case in the 90s, where being a servant of the state seemed to be an absolute goal that became a measure of one’s success. This paradigm shift certainly has a major influence from the rapid development of information technology in the era of digitalization which is increasingly developing in almost all lines of life.
The National Education University (Undiknas) is one of the private universities that have a vision and mission to produce talented young entrepreneurs (talented entrepreneurs) through the use of information technology. In line with the Undiknas tagline, Techno Research-preneur University, Undiknas has the perspective that technology that continues to develop today is the key to the development of all aspects of the Tridharma of Higher Education, including the development of entrepreneurial activities in increasing the scale or capacity of existing businesses.
One of Undiknas’ programs in realizing this is through the holding of the BAIK program, which is an acronym for the Undiknas Student Entrepreneurship Internal Grant. Through this program, Undiknas provides financial assistance for young Undiknas entrepreneurs who have the potential to be able to develop their businesses. Undiknas students also invite their colleagues from other universities to collaborate and be creative in realizing their business ideas.

The way he presented his business idea got more attention from the reviewers. One of the reviewers said that the business idea offered by Gung Surya had a large enough opportunity, especially in the post-pandemic situation.
