The Adias Institute of Technology and Business (ITB Adias) has developed a collaborative strategy with IFREL (Indonesian Institute of Technology and Business Research) to develop student capacity in socioeconomic research and financial literacy. Through this collaboration, IFREL is a key partner in conducting seminars, workshops, and training programs focused on strengthening data analysis skills, technology-based entrepreneurship, and applied research at higher education institutions. This synergy is expected to not only enhance the academic competency of ITB Adias students but also have a tangible impact on local communities through community service programs and research-based creative economy business mentoring.
