Brawijaya University (UB) is strengthening its commitment to national industrial downstreaming through a strategic collaboration with CNGR Indonesia, an advanced material company, and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). This partnership aims to bolster industrial development and prepare a skilled workforce for the future. The collaboration will focus on advancing the downstream processing of Indonesia’s natural resources. Specifically, it seeks to enhance the value-added processing of materials within the country, reducing reliance on raw material exports. A key component of the agreement is the development of superior human resources equipped with the expertise needed to drive these industries. This initiative underlines UB’s dedication to supporting national economic goals through research, education, and strategic alliances. The partnership signals a concerted effort to elevate Indonesia's industrial capabilities and global competitiveness.
