Almost a decade of sustainable development initiatives has spurred innovations across sectors in alignment with the 17 SDG targets. This has opened up new job markets, as stakeholders from government, industry, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) increasingly shift to sustainable business models, creating demand for experts in sustainability in numerous fields.

At the main event on November 3, Mr. Budi Sriherlambang, S.Sn., M in Imagineering., Head of the New Media Program at BINUS School of Design, was invited as a speaker at the talk show. He shared that “BINUS University as a leading university in technology and digital innovation has been proactive in supporting sustainable development programs by embracing environmentally friendly technologies.”
