Speaking at the opening of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) National Meeting, Prabowo encouraged the members to stay focused on their work and contributions to the nation's progress.

Prabowo stressed that the energy of young businesspeople should be directed towards constructive efforts rather than being sidetracked by negativity. He implied that such criticism often comes from those who are unwilling or unable to contribute positively themselves. The president's message aimed to foster a resilient and forward-looking mindset within HIPMI.

His remarks highlighted the government's emphasis on the role of young entrepreneurs in driving economic growth and development. By calling for focus and resilience, Prabowo sought to empower HIPMI members to overcome obstacles and continue their entrepreneurial endeavors for the betterment of Indonesia.
