The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) is intensifying various strategic programs to upgrade MSMEs. Through the Ayo Berkadin program, MSMEs are expected to become members and take part in various programs and services provided.

Deputy Chairperson of the Coordinator for Organization, Law, and Communication of Kadin Indonesia Yukki N Hanafi said that Kadin prepares platforms, facilities to make MSMEs upgrade.

"What we are doing is collecting data on fostered MSME players and Dekranas members with Kadin Indonesia by opening free membership for MSMEs, this is one of Kadin's flagship programs," he said at the 44th Anniversary of the National Craft Council (Dekranas) event held in Solo, last week.

Yukki stated that increasing the business capacity of MSMEs is also a priority for Kadin. "Kadin's task is to assist and provide training, facilities so that MSMEs continue to grow. We believe that members and MSMEs assisted by Dekranas have the potential to export their products abroad," he said.

Chairman of the Solo City Kadin, Ferry Septha Indrianto, said Ayo Berkadin provides an opportunity for MSME players to become Kadin members without paying membership fees for 1 year.

"Kadin Solo is ready to oversee all Solo Raya MSME businesses to upgrade and even enter the national economic ecosystem," Ferry said in Solo, Central Java, Thursday, May 23, 2024.

Kadin Solo, which participated in the Ayo Berkadin campaign directly to a number of MSME booths at the Dekranas event, targeted MSME players with various types of businesses.

"In essence, MSMEs that move from the most basic, home-based businesses from housewives, PKK mothers who open businesses selling cakes, selling dishes and then have curated and entered the Dekranas ecosystem, we assist and raise their class again. For those who are more into the national level, to export abroad," Ferry said.

In the Ayo Berkadin campaign in Solo City, there were around 250 MSMEs in Greater Solo who immediately registered as members of Kadin Solo. They received free registration facilities for 1 year.

"By becoming a member of Kadin, MSME business actors will receive education, capacity building and business consulting assistance, increase networking, and opportunities to participate in business meetings, MSME exhibitions at national and international levels," Ferry said.
