ICN News – Amid dynamic shifts in the world of work and growing demand for sustainability, collaboration between industry and academia is increasingly essential. Recognizing this importance, PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) strengthens its partnership with the education sector through a Goes to Campus program held at the Faculty of Animal and Agricultural Sciences (FPP) of Diponegoro University (UNDIP) on February 13, 2026.
UT Director, Ari Sutrisno, emphasizes in his remarks that collaboration with universities is an integral part of the company’s sustainability strategy. “We believe that the future of industry is determined not only by technology, but also by the quality of talent and collaboration. Through the Goes to Campus program and the provision of practical facilities, we aim to make a tangible contribution to the development of education, research, and biodiversity preservation. Synergy between academia and industry is the foundation for creating long-term impactful solutions,” says Ari.
This initiative is part of the Practitioner Teaching Program, which brings industry leaders directly into academic spaces. The event is officially opened by the Dean of FPP, Prof. Sugiharto, S.Pt., M.Sc., Ph.D., along with the Vice Rector IV for Research, Innovation, Cooperation, and Public Communication of UNDIP, symbolizing a shared commitment to strengthening collaboration between universities and the business sector.
During the knowledge-sharing session, four UT General Managers, Abun Jufar Jaya, Yudistra, Istiqo Projo, and Rudy Poerwanto, share real-world insights into the heavy equipment industry, evolving business challenges, innovation opportunities, and the implementation of sustainable practices. The discussion is interactive and practical, bridging industry perspectives with students’ academic enthusiasm.
A total of 125 students from various study programs participate in the event. For them, the session provides valuable learning opportunities and broadens their understanding of how classroom theories can be applied in real industrial practices.
The collaboration becomes even more meaningful with the signing ceremony and handover of one tractor unit, which will be utilized to support forage provision for Timor deer within the campus area. This contribution reflects UT’s commitment to supporting biodiversity programs and promoting sustainable environmental management practices.
This initiative also aligns with the Government’s Asta Cita agenda, particularly the fourth point, which emphasizes strengthening human capital development, science, technology, and education, including empowering youth in sustainable development. Through this strategic collaboration with UNDIP, UT reaffirms its commitment to nurturing future-ready talent capable of addressing industrial challenges while delivering positive impacts on society and the environment.
