In order to further master the latest technologies of the downstream industries, Indonesia needs to increase the number of engineers and professionals. The cooperation among Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, investors and universities is the approach of achieving the objective, which shows the embodiment of the trend of time.
