The Government of DKI Jakarta and the City of Berlin signed a Joint Declaration on Innovation and Technology on September 7, 2023, at the Jakarta Future City Hub in Gambir, Central Jakarta. Ms. Sri Haryati, Undersecretary for Economic Affairs and Finance at DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, inked the commitment together with Ms. Franziska Giffey, Berlin Mayor and Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy, and Public Enterprises. The signed document is expected to further boost the two cities' cooperation on business innovation and technology, particularly in supporting the role of Jakarta Future City Hub as a platform for sustainable ecosystem growth, which was built within the cooperation framework of Jakarta and Berlin. "And this place today (Jakarta Future City Hub) is not only a final point for the cooperation during the last years. It is a starting point for further cooperation," Ms. Giffey said during her speech at the ceremony. Ms. Giffey also noted that Jakarta and Berlin would soon mark 30 years of relations, and that the signed declaration served as a commitment for the strengthening of both cities' collaboration in the future. "We will all celebrate our 30th anniversary next year. And this, today, is a sign of our support for the next few years to make cooperation work and to do what is important to do," Ms. Giffey added. Ms. Sri Haryati outlined the cooperation of Jakarta with Berlin as crucial and beneficial for both Indonesia and Germany. "I would like to reiterate the importance of the relationship between our two cities.

The working space was inaugurated in October 2022 by Anies Baswedan, who was then the Governor of DKI Jakarta. The project was initiated to overcome challenges and provide sustainability solutions in Jakarta, especially to empower an inclusive and digital entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs, the government, and society. To afford its goals, this hub is intended to provide a one-stop-shop for startups, founders, and innovators to conduct business events; to create a meeting point for innovation and cross-sectoral collaboration; to give local entrepreneurs access to international connections in Berlin and other cities; and to provide a discussion platform between the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta and startup innovators.

Held at Sawan Vocational High School 1 (SMKN 1 Sawan) located in Buleleng Regency in Bali, some 25 students from SMKN 1 Sawan were deemed eligible to be included in the program. Following a stringent selection process, which narrowed the list further to 15 students, 11 sophomores were eventually chosen to be interviewed by their prospective employers – and partners of the GDVET in Hotel Management program – Holiway Garden Resort & Spa, Cili Emas Oceanside Resort and Desa Saya Eco Luxury Resort & Spa. By the end of this process, 10 students were selected for the two-year pilot program, in the course of which these students will spend 60% of the time working as interns at the hotels that chose them as part of their practical training. The remaining 40% will be spent studying the theoretical aspect at SMKN 1 Sawan. When the students graduate, they will have received invaluable real-life experience of working in the hotel industry, as well as a certificate as proof of their European-standard knowledge of the hospitality sector. Hermann Sattler, manager at Holiway Garden & Spa, said the selected students showed promise and that he would, should the students perform well at their task, offer them a permanent contract to work at his property. However, he added that he was also happy to be able to give the students better opportunities to work in other hotels in Bali or abroad. “In fact, I offered to teach them the German language because many of the students we interviewed expressed interest in working abroad,” he added. Mr. Maulandiki Dani, Senior Executive and Supervisor of the GDVET in Hotel Management Program at EKONID, hoped that by the end of the program, EKONID would have helped create world-class workers that can grow the hospitality industry. “We also hope to have provided significant advantages and opportunities for these students in honing their craft further here or even abroad,” he said. Additionally, EKONID also completed the exam phase of the training-of-trainers for the teachers of SMKN 1 Sawan and for staff members of the partner hotels. This aspect of the program ensures that the students receive proper guidance as interns for the hotels, whilst providing teachers and the hotels’ staff members valuable teaching tools to use in the future.
