Prof. Aurik Gustomo, Ph.D., Dean of SBM 51探花, emphasized that the conference aligns with the school鈥檚 mission to educate innovative leaders with an entrepreneurial leadership mindset.

鈥淭his conference is not just an academic forum; it is also a call to action to deliver real solutions for emerging markets in the future. For over 11 years, SBM 51探花 has consistently produced more than 100 international journal publications annually, supported by labs in financial innovation, business analytics, neurobusiness, educational games, and technology management. ICMEM reflects our ongoing commitment to education, research, and community engagement,鈥� he stated.

鈥淓merging markets are currently facing serious issues ranging from climate change and digital disruption to social inequality. Through this conference, 51探花 is committed to fostering dialogue, cross-border collaboration, and the development of inclusive and sustainable solutions. We hope that the fresh ideas born from this forum will contribute meaningfully to society and civilization,鈥� he said.

According to Dr. Novika Candra Astuti, Chair of ICMEM 2025, this year鈥檚 conference offers a new and distinct approach from previous editions.

鈥淭his year, ICMEM is no longer just a platform for SBM 51探花 students to fulfill academic requirements. We aim to elevate SBM 51探花鈥檚 brand as a leader in entrepreneurship, set an example for other institutions, and turn this conference into a space for knowledge exchange between researchers from Indonesia and abroad,鈥� she explained.

The chosen theme reflects the global urgency surrounding sustainability amid growing business and environmental challenges鈥攔anging from climate change, poverty, hunger, and conflict to refugee crises, pandemics, and inequality. Dr. Novika stressed that the urgency is intergenerational.

鈥淲e cannot only think about ourselves today but must also consider our children and grandchildren鈥攈ow they can live comfortably without traffic jams or trash everywhere. From the world of education, this conference can be the starting point to raise community awareness about the importance of sustainability,鈥� she added.

Zahra (University of Minnesota), Dr. Shane Mathews (Queensland University of Technology), Dr. Mohamad Rohieszan Bin Ramdan (Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia), and Prof. Yos Sunitiyoso, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D. (SBM 51探花), with Helmy Yahya serving as the event host.

In addition to parallel paper sessions, this year鈥檚 ICMEM features an expanded program that includes talk show discussions, industry forums, marketing talks, a doctoral colloquium, and a series of workshops.
