This year, IICIES 2013 themed "Empowering Small Businesses to Grow and Thrive in the Global Market," in line with the spirits that was always shown by CIEL SBM.
The theme chosen for this year was felt very appropriate due to the enterpreneurship momentum in Indonesia. For about five years, CIEL ITB have been working to make a reinforcing movement for small businesses (UKM) like workshop and training, also mentorship for existing business in Indonesia. Donald Lantu, Ph,D as a head of CIEL SBM said that the conference is an effort to prepare the small businessmen to compete in the world facing ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. The expectation is all parties that have capability to help small businesses such as government and other associated league can gather and seriously talk about the future of UKM in this opportunity.
