STMIK Tazkia lecturer Hendri Karisma served as a speaker at the prestigious Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) workshop held in Chengdu, China on July 28–29, 2026. The workshop was part of the APEC China 2026 series of events under the overarching theme of Asia-Pacific economic cooperation.
About the APEC DESG 2026 Workshop
The workshop, organized by the APEC Dialogue on Environmental Services and Goods (DESG), was entitled “Bridging That Gap: Capacity Building for Formalizing Businesses for Environmental Compliance in the Digital Age.” The forum brought together academics, practitioners, and policymakers from various APEC member economies to discuss how digital technology can help businesses meet environmental compliance standards.
Key topics discussed included:
- Business formalization — strategies to help SMEs and informal businesses meet environmental regulations through digital approaches
- Capacity building — strengthening human resources in applying technology for environmental compliance
- The role of digital technology — leveraging information systems, data analytics, and digital platforms for environmental monitoring and reporting
- Cross-economy collaboration — sharing best practices among APEC member countries in bridging the environmental compliance gap
Hendri Karisma’s Role as Speaker
Hendri Karisma was invited as a panel speaker at the workshop, representing the perspective of Indonesian academics. During the panel session, he shared insights on the role of information technology and digitalization in supporting environmental compliance, particularly for businesses in developing countries.
Hendri Karisma’s participation in this international forum demonstrates that STMIK Tazkia lecturers are not only active in domestic academic activities but also contribute to global policy discussions across the Asia-Pacific region.
