Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesian Vice President Ma'ruf Amin encouraged graduates of Budi Luhur University (UBL) to be receptive to change and be able to create innovations that are beneficial to the people's lives.

"All of you are expected to continue to hone your knowledge, skills, and character, so that you are always responsive to change and are able to create new innovations and breakthroughs that provide benefits to the community," Vice President Amin stated during the graduation event at Budi Luhur University (UBL) in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Efforts should be made on an ongoing basis to renew and improve in order to win the global competition.

According to Amin, the Indonesian nation must continue to build innovations to be applied into daily practice.

"We certainly cannot do things the same way for certain activities but expect different results," he pointed out.

The vice president also advised the graduates to be open, creative, and solution learners in dealing with various problems, so that the benefits will be felt by society.

Furthermore, Amin lauded UBL's consistency in developing technology-based entrepreneurship by taking into account sustainable social and environmental aspects.

The vice president urged to continue to improve this good step through innovation and collaboration with various institutions and the industry on a more broader scale.
