John Kosasih, Vice President Director of BCA, emphasized the bank's dedication to supporting young entrepreneurs. He stated that BYC Fest is a testament to BCA's commitment to helping businesses thrive through collaboration in an ever-changing business environment. "BCA is committed to accompanying the younger generation in navigating the dynamic business landscape. BYC is a platform that we can optimize to help grow its members' businesses and create a positive impact on society and the nation," Kosasih said. The event featured inspirational speakers from diverse industries, including BCA executives, the Governor of Maluku Utara, a comedian and filmmaker, salon owners, and leaders from ParagonCorp, HMNS Perfume, and VIVERE Group.

Beyond the educational sessions and networking, the festival showcased dozens of curated business booths from BYC members, highlighting BCA's support for local SMEs. The revamped BYC App aims to strengthen member connectivity, offering seamless digital communication and collaboration. Kosasih concluded by stressing that strong collaboration and timely technological adaptation are key to business sustainability and growth. "Without collaboration, businesses will find it difficult to adapt, let alone grow. If technology is ignored, entrepreneurs will not get anywhere and will slowly be eroded by the passage of time," he stated.
