The role of technology is dominating almost every aspect of human life. Amidst this great change, the technopreneurs have emerged, an individual who combines the entrepreneurial spirit with a deep understanding of technology. They create more than just an innovation, but also make a positive change in the business community.
A student team from Electrical Engineering of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) created a platform called Inchise.id. They successfully passed the funding stage of the Program Pembinaan Mahasiswa Wirausaha (P2MW) (trans: Student Entrepreneurship Development Program) from the government. The team consists of Cucu Muhammad Zahid, Husein, M fakhri, Dami Tegar, and Fikri Arnitio.

Inchise.id is a platform that provides the solution for those who want to buy a business franchise or register their own business. It attempts to help the entrepreneurs in developing their business. One of the main objectives of this platform is to help the entrepreneurs " franchising" their business.
"Since this website is still in the development process, we are only accepting registrations for food and beverage (F&B) MSMEs. However, we will add more categories such as services and suppliers in the future," said Zahid as the group leader.
This web-based program is specifically designed to provide support to entrepreneurs to gain a greater opportunity to grow their business. This program is not only providing a platform for development or startups, but also provides training, development, and consulting.
"So Inchise.id is not only a learning platform, but also a place where the entrepreneurs can sign up for a "franchise." It allows them to showcase their business and receive the feedback from the other users. So, they can continue to grow their business by considering the advice from the community," he said.

On the other hand, Basri Noor Cahyadi, S.T., M.Sc. as the supervisor said that there will be various things that will be learned later. "Since this website also provides consultation, we also need many MSMEs to be listed first before starting mentoring. So we can know what to prepare," he explained.
This platform is planned to be a more interactive space with online transactions, on-kill tracking, and many more. In its development, Inchise.id also includes more people who want to contribute by providing information about business potential in various regions in Indonesia.
According to Basri, Inchise.id is a real example of the spirit of the youth to create innovations that can benefit many people. With a clear vision and passion to help entrepreneurs, they have created a platform that can help everyone to get on the road of success in the business world. (*nel/wil/put)
