The Management Student Association (HMJM) of STIE YKPN Yogyakarta has once again shown its commitment to developing students’ entrepreneurial spirit and creativity through the Business Festival for Entrepreneurship (FESBUK). The event serves as a platform for students to develop their business skills while providing space for creativity and entertainment.
FESBUK is the culmination of the practical work in the Entrepreneurship Business Development course at STIE YKPN Yogyakarta. Through this event, students apply what they have learned in class, from developing ideas and products and managing a business to marketing strategies and direct interaction with consumers. FESBUK gives students the opportunity to apply their business skills directly in real situations.
FESBUK #27 carried the theme FESMORA (Festival of Minds, Rhythm and Action) and was held on Friday, 9 January 2026 at STIE YKPN Yogyakarta. FESBUK #27 featured several main activities: an entrepreneurship bazaar, a Business Plan Competition, and a Band Festival. Together, these activities combined entrepreneurship with creativity and entertainment in a single festival.
In terms of entrepreneurship, students applied the practice of the Entrepreneurship Business Development course by developing and managing businesses. Meanwhile, the Business Plan Competition gave participants a platform to develop and present their business ideas before a panel of judges.
One of the winners of the Business Plan Competition was the entrepreneurship team from MAN 2 Sleman. They won 1st Place with their idea “EcoGrow Pelet”, an innovation that processes organic waste into economically valuable livestock feed pellets.
Besides the entrepreneurship and business competition activities, the Band Festival was one of the main activities of FESBUK #27, focusing on arts and music. The festival gave participants the opportunity to showcase their musical talents while adding to the event’s appeal for visitors.
In the practice of Entrepreneurship Business Development, students learn to understand market needs, develop products, determine marketing strategies, manage resources, and evaluate business feasibility. This experience is reinforced by students’ involvement in running FESBUK, from preparation to execution.
FESBUK is therefore not just a business competition but also the culmination of Entrepreneurship Business Development practice, packaged as a festival with entrepreneurship activities, a Business Plan Competition, and a Band Festival. The event gives students the experience of applying their business skills while developing their creativity and teamwork.
Through FESBUK, students are expected not only to understand entrepreneurship theory in the classroom but also to apply it in creating, running, and developing business opportunities, as well as to contribute to creative activities on campus.
