The Provincial Government of Central Kalimantan through the Trade and Industry Office, held a Dissemination on Registration for Intellectual Property Rights, Packaging Designs, and Business Licenses as well as Dissemination on Industrial Data through the National Industrial Information System (SIINas), located at Swissbell Hotel Danum, Palangka Raya on Monday (30/5/2022).

The event aims to follow up on the direction of the Governor of Central Kalimantan H. Sugianto Sabran who is committed to continuing to encourage the growth of Small and Medium Industries (IKM) through outreach, training and mentoring programs.

While reading the remarks of the Provincial Secretary, the Governor’s Expert Staff for Economics, Finance, and Development Yuas Elko said that to compete in the market, business actors must be equipped with legal business licenses and packaging standards.
