The rapid pace of technological transformation, including the disruption driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pushing the creative industry to adapt through more strategic approaches. One increasingly relevant pathway is building stronger connectivity between academia and industry, ensuring that emerging talents are equipped with the skills and perspectives required to meet real market demands.

Through Creative Space: Bridging Talent, Academia, and Industry, organized by the School of Creative Industry (SCI) at Universitas Ciputra, PT Berdikari Meubel Nusantara (PT BMN), together with BMN Living, actively participated in a collaborative platform that brought together academics, industry practitioners, and the next generation of creative talents.

As part of the event series, PT BMN also took part in Industrial Gathering 2026, a strategic dialogue forum designed to facilitate cross-sector exchange, strengthen alignment between education and industry practice, and foster collaboration opportunities aligned with both current and future industry dynamics. Such forums play a critical role in ensuring that curricula and talent development evolve alongside the changing industry landscape.

Beyond discussions, BMN Living presented an exclusive booth showcasing craftsmanship, material excellence, and distinctive design character. The presence served not only as a product showcase but also as a reflection of how design can act as a medium connecting ideas, people, and new collaborative opportunities.

Ultimately, the sustainability of the creative industry is shaped not solely by innovation, but by the ability to build purposeful and lasting collaboration. PT BMN remains committed to playing an active role in bridging education and industry, ensuring that the value created today contributes to stronger competitiveness in the future.
