Twenty-one startups were selected to become members of The Greater Hub (TGH) batch XIV, business incubation program of SBM ITB in Bandung on Friday (3/2). The announcement occurred during the Opening Ceremony of The Greater Hub XIV at the Technical Laboratory XIX SBM ITB Building.
The Greater Hub is a business incubation program held twice a year. In this class, 48 startups registered, and only 21 were successful and qualified to become The Greater Hub XIV.
The selected startups come from various industries, ranging from creative, beauty, edu-tech, and fisheries to health industries. Each of these startups will be paired with experienced mentors to ensure that the right person mentors each startup.
“If you want to participate in a competition, request a mentor from company X, or whatever, tell us (The Greater Hub), and we will always try to provide for your needs,” explained the Director of The Greater Hub, Dina Dellyana.
Startups that are included in The Greater Hub will get many facilities. From mentoring, access to the startup ecosystem, coworking space at the Ganesha Campus SBM ITB and MBA ITB Bandung, to access to funding.
The Greater Hub designs mentoring sessions as an opportunity to increase knowledge beyond just taking a class. The Greater Hub developed a platform called Innov. Through the Innov platform, founders can access all the materials a startup needs to develop; more than 120 e-books can be accessed freely by The Greater Hub XIV. Support for these statuses is a form of effort in achieving the mission of The Greater Hub.
