Equilibrium National Talk (EQUITALK) 2021

  In the current era, the opportunity for entrepreneurship is very high, especially with the advancement of technology that can make a job easier. However, not many young people take advantage of this digital access to find business ideas and develop their own influence skills, but rather use digital access as a means of entertainment. Therefore, the Student Executive Board of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University held a national-level webinar called the Equilibrium National Talk (EQUITALK). Equilibrium National Talk 2021 is one of the work programs of the Student Executive Board of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University in the form of webinars or online seminars using webex meetings. The Equilibrium National Talk 2021 will take place on Sunday, August 15, 2021 with the theme “Start an Action to Realize Your Vision”. This theme aims to help foster an adaptive and innovative attitude in participants in utilizing digitalization and motivate participants to take advantage of every opportunity they have in starting their journey. The number of participants for the Equilibrium National Talk was 1,470 participants who came from students and the general public.


        The Equilibrium National Talk 2021 presented three speakers, namely Monez, Sandiaga Uno, and Ernest Prakasa. The first speaker was Ida Bagus Ratu Antoni Putra, S.Sn., M.Sn. (Monez) who is an illustrator from Bali who produces many works by combining Balinese culture and Pop culture. Even Monez has collaborated with parties such as Apple, Starbucks, Disney Indonesia, Bali Zoo, Grab, Havaianas, Aqua, Kemeparekraf, and several well-known application developers on iPad such as procreate and affinity. It is hoped that this Monez figure can inspire the younger generation to look at the opportunities that exist, be honest with yourself to find passion, and be committed to the choices that have been chosen.


            The second speaker is Dr. H. Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, B.B.A., M.B.A. who is the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia. On this occasion, he shared his knowledge, experiences, and policy plans related to tourism and the creative economy. It is hoped that we as the younger generation will be able to see the challenges as well as opportunities to generate tourism and the creative economy.


           The third speaker is Ernest Prakasa who is a comedian, actor, screenwriter, director, public figure, and creativepreneur. Ernest Prakasa is a person who is open to change and is not easily satisfied with pursuing only one field. This can be seen from the struggle that started his career as a radio announcer and then continued his career to the music industry, comedy world, actor, to become a writer and director. It is hoped that this Ernest figure can inspire the younger generation to take every opportunity and dare to try new things.
