Prabowo's university and industry agenda

President Prabowo Subianto convened a closed‑door meeting with ministers and agency heads at the presidential complex in Jakarta to outline a data‑driven university strategy. The discussion emphasized the creation of a new public university, broader development goals linking high economic growth with environmental sustainability, and policies such as waste‑to‑energy facilities and a target of 100 GW solar capacity.

The following day, Prabowo directed universities to channel research and technology toward strengthening Indonesia’s shipbuilding sector. Through the Higher Education Minister, the president urged partnerships between academic institutions and state shipyard PT PAL Indonesia to develop vessels for passenger transport, logistics and inter‑island connectivity, aiming to create jobs and reduce reliance on foreign shipbuilders.

Together, the snapshots illustrate the administration’s drive to align higher‑education institutions with national priorities—first on clean‑energy and sustainability, then on industrial self‑sufficiency via shipbuilding research.
