Diponegoro University is a PTNBH that continues to move to create technological inventions from research and development results. Undip has produced innovative products in the health and pharmaceutical fields, as well as encouraging the accelerated downstreaming of research results, especially medical devices and pharmaceuticals so that the benefits can be felt by the community as well as a form of Undip’s commitment to support the Government’s priority program to achieve self-reliance in the production of domestic medical devices. Undip’s downstream efforts are carried out through collaboration, both with the government and with the business world and the industrial world.
In order to implement Presidential Instruction Number 2 of 2022 concerning Accelerating the Increase in the Use of Domestic Products and Products for Micro, Small Enterprises and Cooperatives in the Context of the Success of the Proud Made in Indonesia National Movement and the implementation of Diponegoro University Chancellor’s Regulation Number 30 of 2020 concerning Governance and Transfer Intellectual Property and Results of Research, Development, Innovation and Community Service, Undip seeks to create strategic collaborations and synergies between Diponegoro University and Industry as a contribution to achieving 8 (eight) Key Performance Indicators (IKU) and downstreaming innovative work products, one of which is through business matching.
Undip successfully participated in the “Business Matching Product Innovation of Medical and Pharmaceutical Devices”, on Wednesday, 9 August 2023 at the JW Marriot Hotel, Jalan Ring Road Utara, Kaliwaru, Condongcatur, Depok, DIY. The event was attended by representatives from 36 producers, 27 distributors and 27 researchers representing universities throughout Indonesia.
Undip sent 2 researchers in the field of Medical Devices and Pharmacy, namely Dr. Rifky Ismail from the Faculty of Engineering along with research assistants and Dr. drh. Dwi Sutiningsih from the Faculty of Public Health and the Directorate of Innovation and Cooperation Team, drh. Dian Wahyu Harjanti, Ph.D. (Director) and Dr. I. Made Bayu Dirgantara (Deputy Director) and from the Innovation and Cooperation Bureau represented by Mas Anantha Boedhy Prakosa, S.T., M.Sc. (Innovation Section Manager) and Yuni Nurjanah, S.S., M.A. (Supervisor of Research Results Downstream Subdivision).
Many manufacturers are interested in Undip medical equipment and plan to collaborate to produce Undip research results for commercialization in the future, including PT THC Martin Industri (a non-electromedical non-sterile manufacturer) which requires needles/blood type and widal detection devices. Because it uses a lot, continuously, and the product is still imported. There are still many producers and distributors who are interested in collaborating with Undip to downstream and upstream Undip research results which in the future will be followed up with personal business matching between the two parties.
