Prof Deni Noviana, IPB's vice-rector for education and student affairs, said women entrepreneurs in Indonesia often face multiple barriers, including in financial literacy, business networks and mental resilience.
He described the programme as built on four pillars: business development knowledge, financial literacy, mental health and resilience, and social media management skills.
