PT. GLM Brought Science and Technology to Indonesia’s Youth at the Habibie Festival
PT. Gapura Liqua Mandiri (PT. GLM) recently participated in the first Habibie Festival event which was held in Museum Nasional, Jakarta. The festival, which opened on Thursday (11/08) and ran until Sunday (14/08), celebrated the 80th birthday of former Indonesian president, B.J. Habibie and the launch of “Berkarya!Indonesia” — a movement to bolster technology and innovation among Indonesia’s youth. According to Ilham Habibie, the founder of “Berkarya!Indonesia”, B.J. Habibie believes that a nationwide adoption and understanding of advanced and applied technologies for innovative use is the key to creating a better Indonesia. PT. GLM as an environmental-friendly technology solution and value-added services company in total water solution & energy conservation in Indonesia was awarded an opportunity to exhibit its contribution to technology and innovation in the Habibie Festival.
In the event which was attended by around 55,000 visitors of all ages (who consisted not only of several government representatives, industrial practitioners, and universities’ researchers, but also thousands of students and kids), PT. GLM displayed its development in Total Water Solution and Aquaculture. The visitors were made to understand that we are facing a serious water crisis; by the year 2020, water demand will exceed supply by 470 trillion gallons and the United Nations predicts that two-thirds of the world’s population will live in areas facing moderate to severe water stress by 2025. PT. GLM realizes and embraces this challenge by providing integrated solutions through “Total Water Solution and Energy Conservation” concept and continuously creating and incorporating innovation in this field.
Collaborating with Sekolah Ilmu Teknologi Hayati (School of Technology and Life Science), Institut Teknologi Bandung (SITH ITB), PT. GLM tries to bring innovation in the field of aquaculture, from research scale into industrial scale so that breakthrough could always be created through research and research could be applied and used beyond daily consumption. Together with aquaculture experts, PT. GLM focus on the development of the water conditioning, nutrition enrichment, and health (risk prevention and management). These are applied in every stage of aquaculture system, from hatchery, nursery, and grow-out phases.
True innovation and application know-how are the basis of the competitive strategy of PT. GLM. Intellectual force and creativity led us to redefine and embrace the comprehensive systems and solutions concept. Working closely with customers and business partners have created a number of service packages and products in maximizing resources and strike a positive chord for environmental conservation. To Indonesia, we pledge our abiding support to the economic development of Indonesia. Creating environmentally friendly technology in support of the future is and will remain the most important endeavor of PT. GLM.
