INDUSTRY.co.id - JAKARTA- PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BRI continues to reinforce its commitment in supporting the empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM) in Indonesia through the LinkUMKM platform. As of April 2026, 16.46 million UMKM entrepreneurs have utilized the platform to expand market access, improve business capabilities, and encourage UMKM acceleration.
Along with its development, the LinkUMKM application is now a digital training tool designed to strengthen the competitiveness of UMKM in various regions in Indonesia. Currently, the platform presents six main features along with various supporting facilities, including UMKM smart, BUMN House, UMKM Media, Community, Digital Showcase, and Register Nomor Induk Berusaha (NIB) services.
Micro BRI Director Akhmad Purwakajaya revealed that LinkUMKM was present to answer the needs of business actors in obtaining access to market information while improving business administration and management capabilities. This step is part of BRI's efforts to strengthen the populist economy in line with the President's Asta Cita to build an independent economy and strengthen the national UMKM sector.
"Through LinkUMKM, every business actor has the opportunity to attend quality training that is relevant to their business needs. LinkUMKM is also designed as an answer to the main challenge of UMKM entrepreneurs, namely limited access to information, training, and development support in accordance with the stages of their business," he said.
He added that LinkUMKM itself has been equipped with various integrated features to support the capacity building of business actors. Through this platform, UMKM can participate in online training with materials arranged based on real needs in the field, so that the learning process becomes more applicable and according to business needs.
One of the superior features available is UMKM smart, which provides specific business development recommendations based on the results of self-assessment of business actors. In addition, there is also a Self-Assessment Upgrade feature that helps business actors identify business capacity through a digital scoring system. Based on the results of the assessment, users will get training recommendations tailored to business categories, ranging from traditional, developing, to modern UMKM.
To strengthen the learning process, LinkUMKM also provides more than 690 training modules covering the development of technical and non-technical competencies. These materials are prepared to help business actors conduct business in a more professional and sustainable manner.
“We want the UMKM empowerment process not to stop at training, but toreally help business actors understand their position and business potential. With this digital approach, every entrepreneur can learn and develop according to their capacity," said Akhmad.
Going forward, BRI will continue to expand support for UMKM actors through the provision of learning access, mentoring, to connected market access in one ecosystem. Through strengthening the digital ecosystem and integrated empowerment programs, BRI is committed to encouraging UMKM to be more adaptive, competitive, and able to make a greater contribution to the national economy.
