Jakarta, October 16, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) continues to strengthen the capabilities of communities surrounding its operational areas through empowerment programs aligned with industry workforce needs. One such initiative is the Basic Operation Course (BOC) Forklift, a basic forklift operation training program involving 20 residents living near UT’s Head Office in Cakung, East Jakarta.

In collaboration with UT School, the program takes place from September 7 to October 16, 2026, at United Tractors Corporate University in Cakung, East Jakarta.

Participants also undergo assessments to obtain an Operator License (Surat Izin Operator/SIO), subject to applicable regulations and their assessment results.

The BOC Forklift program uses a structured approach that combines theory with hands-on practice under the guidance of experienced instructors. Participants begin with forklift fundamentals, workplace safety, and safe operating procedures before moving on to daily maintenance and practical forklift operation. From October 12 to 14, 2026, participants undergo theoretical and practical assessments to evaluate the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the training.

UT Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Himawan Sutanto, emphasizes that the BOC Forklift program reflects UT’s commitment to strengthening the competencies of communities surrounding its operational areas.

“Through BOC Forklift, we aim to provide local communities with opportunities to develop skills relevant to industry needs while strengthening their awareness of workplace safety. We hope the competencies gained through this training will enhance participants’ job readiness and expand their employment opportunities,” said Himawan.

The program also receives support from the local government. Cakung Subdistrict Head, H. Rohmad, S.AP., M.Si., expresses his appreciation for UT’s contribution to providing skills development opportunities for the Cakung community. He highlights the importance of collaboration between companies and the government in delivering broader benefits to local communities, particularly through initiatives that promote competency development and self-reliance.

“We appreciate and thank UT for providing the people of Cakung with the opportunity to participate in this training. We hope initiatives like this will continue to benefit the community while strengthening collaboration between companies and the government in supporting community empowerment,” said Rohmad.

The BOC Forklift program concludes on October 16, 2026, attended by representatives from UT, UT School, Cakung Subdistrict, Cakung Barat Urban Village, and Rawaterate Urban Village. Based on the training evaluation results, all 20 participants successfully complete the program, achieving a 100% completion rate. This achievement demonstrates the training’s positive impact on strengthening participants’ technical knowledge and practical skills.

Moving forward, UT remains committed to expanding community access to technical skills development aligned with industry needs.

Today, UT continues to expand its business through its Mining Solutions and Heavy Equipment pillar. In line with its commitment to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UT consistently implements various initiatives that uphold sustainability principles.

ESG United Tractors

As a world-class heavy equipment, mining, and energy company, UT has been operating in Indonesia for over 53 years. The company is committed to creating a sustainable future for Indonesia by effectively applying ESG principles. UT aims to pay attention to the environment, positively impact society, and uphold good corporate governance at all levels of its business operations. The company also strives to optimize its competencies, expertise, and strategic assets to bring added value to all stakeholders and the Indonesian people.

The Company recorded net revenue of Rp90.3 trillion, decreased by 10% compared to Rp100.5 trillion in the same period of 2025. The decline was mainly due to weaker performance in the Heavy Equipment and Thermal and Metallurgical Coal Mining segments as the impact of a lower national coal RKAB allocation in 2026 and lower gold sales from Agincourt Resources.

This was partially offset by higher revenue from the Mining Contracting segment, mainly driven by a stronger US Dollar. 

The Company’s net income excluding non-recurring items was Rp7.9 trillion, down 31% YoY, mainly due to weaker revenues largely reflecting the impact of a lower national coal RKAB allocation in 2026 and the lower gold sales from Agincourt Resources. The lower gold sales from the Martabe Gold Mine were due to the temporary halt of its operations. The Martabe Gold Mine has resumed its operations in the second quarter reporting period.

Until the third quarter of 2026, the Company recognized non-recurring items totaling Rp3.5 trillion, mainly comprising of (i) impairment of Supreme Geothermal Energy and (ii) payment related to prior activities in forest areas, in relation to the Forest Area Utilization Approval (PPKH) at Stargate Nickel Mine.

As of 30 September 2026, the Company recorded net debt of Rp4.6 trillion, with a net gearing ratio of 4.2%, compared to a net cash position of Rp7.7 trillion as of 31 December 2025. This change primarily reflects the acquisition of a gold mining company and the share buyback program.

Heavy Equipment

The Heavy Equipment segment recorded a decrease in Komatsu sales volume by 17% to 3,026 units primarily due to a 48% decline in big machine sales in the mining sector to 481 units, driven by lower national coal RKAB allocations. 

Revenue from spare parts and maintenance services increased by 2% to Rp 8.5 trillion from Rp8.3 trillion in same period last year.

In total, the Heavy Equipment segment recorded 19% decreased net revenue of Rp23.6 trillion.

To strengthen its after-sales services and commodity supply chain, the Company also operates supporting businesses through its subsidiaries which provide engineering services, manufacture heavy equipment components and attachments, and offer maritime logistics, shipbuilding, and maintenance services.

Mining Solutions

Mining Contracting Segment 

The Company operates its Mining Contracting segment through PAMA and its subsidiary KPP Mining. PAMA and KPP Mining provide mining services to mine concession owners, by assisting them with overburden removal and coal and other mineral production.

Until the third quarter of 2026, PAMA and KPP Mining recorded decreased overburden removal by 7% to 766 million bcm and coal production for its clients by 3% at 106 million tons, with an average stripping ratio of 7.2x, following the clients’ adjusted production target to align with the approved RKAB. 

Aligned with growing opportunities within the non-coal mineral sector, PAMA and KPP Mining is strengthening its expansion into gold and nickel mining. This strategic move aligns with the commitment to building a sustainable business portfolio and strengthening its foundation for PAMA and KPP Mining long-term growth.

In total, the Mining Contracting segment recorded 11% increased net revenue of Rp44.5 trillion mainly due to a stronger USD.

Thermal and Metallurgical Coal Mining Segment 

The Company’s thermal and metallurgical coal mining business segment is operated by Turangga Resources. 

Until the third quarter of 2026, Turangga Resources coal mine reported own coal sales volume of 7.1 million tons (including 2.1 million tons of metallurgical coal), decreased by 23% compared to the same period of 2025.

Thermal and Metallurgical Coal Mining segment recorded a 15% decrease in net revenue to Rp15.9 trillion, in line with the lower coal sales volume.

Gold and Other Mineral Mining Segment 

The Gold and Other Mineral Mining segment recorded 53% lower revenue to Rp4.9 trillion, primarily due to the 70% lower gold sales.

• Gold Mining

The Company’s gold mining business operated by Agincourt Resources and Sumbawa Jutaraya reported total gold sales equivalent of 54 thousand ounces until the third quarter of 2026, compared to 178 thousand ounces.

• Nickel Business

Stargate Pasific Resources which operates nickel mine reported 1,157 thousand wet metric tonnes (wmt) of nickel ore sales until the third quarter of 2026, comprising 390 thousand wmt of saprolite and 767 thousand wmt of limonite.

Corporate Action

On 30 September 2026, UT completed its fourth tranche share buyback program which was started from 1 July 2026 with 58 million shares repurchased. Subsequently, UT announced a fifth tranche of its share buyback up to Rp2 trillion from 1 October to 31 December 2026. 

Cumulatively, UT has repurchased 297 million shares with a total value of approximately Rp 8.5 trillion from the period of July 2022 to January 2023 and October 2025 to September 2026.

Under these programs, the shares are being repurchased in accordance with the Financial Services Authority regulation related to share buybacks under significantly fluctuating market conditions. 

These programs reflect management’s confidence in the Company’s prospects and its ability to generate sustainable cash flow, as well as supporting the government in maintaining stability of the capital market.

Opening of the TENSI UT 2026 series of activities (left). Hydroponic Farming session at the RW 05 Malaka Sari Community Office (right).

Jakarta, October 12, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) continues to demonstrate its commitment to empowering individuals with diverse abilities through Temu Potensi (TENSI), an initiative designed to provide athletes from Special Olympics Indonesia (SOIna) with opportunities to explore practical skills, discover their potential, and develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

Carrying the theme “Learning Together, Discovering Potential, Building Entrepreneurial Dreams,” TENSI engages 20 SOIna athletes and 20 companions in a series of interactive learning sessions covering four areas: Catfish Cultivation, Food Packaging, Hydroponic Farming, and Creative Crafting. Held from September 11 to 23, 2026, the program combines practical knowledge with hands-on experience, enabling participants to identify their interests, strengthen their capabilities, and explore opportunities for greater independence.

United Tractors Corporate Social Responsibility Section Head, Dimas Aryo, emphasizes the importance of providing equal opportunities for individuals to develop their potential. Through TENSI, UT aims to create an inclusive learning environment that encourages SOIna athletes to explore new capabilities and build a foundation for future entrepreneurial opportunities.

“We believe that a person’s potential is not solely defined by their achievements, but also by the opportunities they receive to explore new experiences. Through TENSI, we aim to provide SOIna athletes with a supportive environment where they can discover their interests, develop practical skills, and explore opportunities to turn those skills into productive activities. We hope this initiative serves as an initial step toward greater independence and the realization of their entrepreneurial aspirations,” said Dimas.

The TENSI program features four hands-on learning sessions across different locations. The series begins with Catfish Cultivation at Swara Hijau Farm on September 11, followed by Food Packaging at RPETRA Malaka Sari on September 16. Participants then explore Hydroponic Farming at the RW 05 Malaka Sari Community Office on September 18, before concluding with Creative Crafting at LPB Cakung on September 23. Each session introduces practical skills and provides participants with opportunities to gain firsthand experience, fostering confidence, creativity, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Through TENSI, UT reinforces its commitment to promoting inclusive empowerment by creating meaningful learning opportunities that support personal development and encourage greater independence among SOIna athletes.

The TENSI learning sessions also bring together companions and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) practitioners, who share practical knowledge, experiences, and insights with participants. The program is implemented through collaboration with SOIna as a program partner and participant, MSME practitioners as resource persons and knowledge-sharing partners, and PPU Cakung, which supports MSME engagement and mentoring activities. This collaborative approach aims to create an inclusive learning environment that encourages participants to develop their skills and explore entrepreneurial opportunities.

Beyond the learning sessions, UT further supports participants in applying and developing their newly acquired skills. As part of the initiative, UT will provide three selected participants with practical equipment to help them continue their activities independently. Looking ahead, participants who successfully develop their skills into businesses are expected to receive further mentoring and assistance to support sustainable business growth, with opportunities to become part of UT’s network of supported MSMEs owned by persons with disabilities.

Through TENSI, UT reaffirms its commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual can discover their potential, strengthen their capabilities, and pursue greater independence. The initiative reflects UT’s belief that meaningful opportunities to learn, explore, and grow can empower individuals to transform their potential into productive and sustainable livelihoods.

Red onion harvesting activity during the second planting season with Karya Makmur Sentosa Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Karanglo Village, Kerek District, Tuban Regency.

Tuban, September 30, 2026 – PT United Tractors Semen Gresik (UTSG), a subsidiary of PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), together with Karya Makmur Sentosa Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Karanglo Village, Kerek District, Tuban Regency, records an increase in red onion production during the second planting season. The harvest generates approximately Rp90 million in revenue for the BUMDes, marking positive progress in developing village-based productive economic activities.

This achievement reflects the continued development of the village’s agricultural business initiatives. Despite the increase in production, the second harvest also highlights challenges arising from fluctuations in commodity prices, with red onion selling prices lower than those recorded during the first harvest. These conditions offer valuable insights to further improve production efficiency, business management, and agricultural marketing strategies.

Karya Makmur Sentosa BUMDes Director Nurhadi expressed appreciation for UTSG’s ongoing support and commitment to strengthening the village’s food security program. He emphasizes that the results of the second planting season serve as further motivation to sustain and expand the initiative.

“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to PT UTSG for its continued support and commitment to accompanying the food security program implemented by the village. During the second planting season, red onion production increased and generated approximately Rp90 million in revenue. Although the current selling price is lower than that of the first harvest, this achievement provides valuable experience and motivation for us to continue developing the program in the future,” says Nurhadi.

Meanwhile, UTSG CSR & Communication representative Moh Wildan Maulana emphasizes that the program extends beyond agricultural productivity and economic returns, focusing on delivering tangible benefits to surrounding communities. The latest harvest involves dozens of local residents, both men and women, who actively participate in the harvesting process.

“This is one of the indicators that the program has created opportunities for community involvement while contributing positively to local economic empowerment,” says Wildan.

UTSG supports the initiative by providing agricultural cultivation assistance and working closely with the village government and BUMDes to strengthen productive economic activities. The program forms part of the company’s ongoing commitment to promoting community empowerment and enhancing food security in areas surrounding its operations.

Looking ahead, UTSG aims to further develop red onion cultivation as a sustainable source of economic opportunities for local communities while strengthening food security in Karanglo Village. The company remains committed to working closely with the village government and BUMDes to enhance the program’s long-term sustainability and expand its positive impact on the wider community.

Hilma from UTCall won a Bronze Medal in the Best Team Leader Digital Small category at The Best Contact Center Indonesia 2026.

Leadership is defined not only by the positions individuals hold or the decisions they make, but also by their ability to recognize potential, take initiative, and create opportunities for others to grow. The opportunity to learn, demonstrate capabilities, and continuously develop plays an essential role in shaping effective leadership.

Women’s leadership is integral to this process. Across professional fields, women bring valuable perspectives that enrich decision-making, strengthen collaboration, and support sustainable growth. However, advancing women’s leadership goes beyond representation in leadership positions. It also requires an inclusive environment that empowers women to recognize their potential, embrace responsibilities with confidence, and continuously enhance their competencies.

At PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), providing women with equal opportunities to develop and contribute remains central to fostering an inclusive workplace. By creating opportunities for women to learn, demonstrate their capabilities, and take on leadership responsibilities, UT supports individual growth while strengthening a workplace culture that values diverse perspectives. The company believes that every individual has the potential to make meaningful contributions when supported by the right opportunities and environment.

This commitment is reflected in UT’s ongoing efforts to advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). For UT, diversity goes beyond bringing together individuals from different backgrounds. It also means ensuring employees have equal opportunities to develop their competencies, demonstrate their capabilities, and contribute to the company’s continued progress.

A reflection of this commitment is the achievement of Hilma from UTCall, who earns a Bronze Medal in the Best Team Leader Digital Small category at The Best Contact Center Indonesia 2026. Held from August 26 to September 12, 2026, at Hotel Bidakara, Jakarta, the competition brought together 735 participants from 62 companies across various categories. This recognition highlights Hilma’s competence, dedication, and commitment to her responsibilities as a team leader. Amid evolving operational demands and customer expectations, effective leadership requires not only achieving performance targets but also maintaining service quality, strengthening teamwork, and delivering positive customer experiences.

UT Head of Corporate Communications & Sustainability Division, Dianwahyu Sri Purnomo, emphasizes that advancing women’s leadership involves more than giving them opportunities to take on greater responsibilities. It also requires fostering an environment where individuals feel empowered to recognize their strengths, develop their capabilities, and pursue continuous growth.

“Leadership does not always begin with a position or title. It begins with the willingness to keep learning, take responsibility, and make a positive impact on others. This is why creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow and believe in their own capabilities is essential. Hilma’s achievement demonstrates how dedication, combined with the right opportunities, enables individuals to realize their full potential,” says Dianwahyu.

Beyond individual recognition, Hilma’s achievement highlights how leadership potential can emerge across different professional roles and responsibilities. Leadership is not always demonstrated through major strategic decisions or prominent positions. It also takes shape through consistency, accountability, the ability to support and inspire others, and a commitment to continuous improvement in everyday responsibilities.

Through its ongoing commitment to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, UT continues to empower employees to develop their potential, contribute meaningfully, and achieve excellence in their respective roles. Hilma’s achievement at UTCall shows how competence, dedication, and equal opportunities can come together to foster leadership and create a positive impact on the company, its employees, and its customers.

Jakarta, October 14, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), together with its subsidiaries, continues to strengthen its relationships and collaboration with the media through the 2026 UT Group Media Workshop. Held under the theme “Human Journalism in the Age of AI: Strengthening Trust and Media Credibility,” the event takes place at the Mezzanine Ballroom, Hotel Aryaduta Tugu Tani, Central Jakarta. The workshop provides a platform to discuss and exchange perspectives on journalism’s role in maintaining public trust amid advances in artificial intelligence (AI).

As an annual program, the UT Group Media Workshop provides an opportunity for UT to maintain positive and sustainable relationships with media partners while sharing insights into emerging issues and trends in journalism. This year, the event brings together 65 journalists, including reporters and editors from various national media outlets. The agenda includes a keynote speech, panel discussion, question-and-answer session, and the announcement of the 2026 Journalist Competition winners.

UT Director of Corporate Human Capital, Communications & Sustainability, Ari Sutrisno, emphasizes that relationships between companies and the media should be built on open communication, dialogue, and mutual trust that develops over time. As UT celebrates its 54th anniversary on October 13, 2026, the company recognizes its relationship with the media as an important part of its ongoing journey to learn, adapt, and maintain stakeholder trust.

“For us, relationships with the media are not solely about publications, but also about building communication, engaging in dialogue, and respecting each other’s roles. Through the UT Group Media Workshop, we hope to continue providing a space for exchanging perspectives and learning together in a constructive environment. We also hope this event brings added value to our journalist colleagues while strengthening relationships built on openness and trust,” says Ari.

Advancing AI continues to transform how information is produced, processed, and distributed. While the technology offers many opportunities for the media industry, it also creates challenges in ensuring accuracy, understanding context, and upholding journalistic ethics. Amid the increasingly rapid flow of information, human judgment in verification, ethical decision-making, and the ability to convey empathy remain essential to maintaining reporting quality and public trust.

As keynote speaker, Member of the Indonesian Press Council and Chair of its Commission on Legal and Legislative Affairs, Abdul Manan shares his perspective on journalism’s challenges and evolving role amid advances in AI. The discussion highlights the importance of upholding verification principles and journalistic professionalism to ensure that technological progress is used responsibly without compromising the quality of information the public receives.

“Amid the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, journalism continues to bear the responsibility of delivering accurate, verified, and balanced information. AI can support journalistic processes, but it cannot replace journalists’ role in fact-checking, understanding context, and considering the impact of information on the public. Therefore, maintaining public trust must remain the fundamental principle of journalistic practice,” says Abdul Manan.

The workshop continues with a panel discussion featuring AI Strategist and Technology Advisor Dr. Arif Perdana; Chair of the Supervisory Board of LPP TVRI and Media Communications Expert Agus Sudibyo; and Editor-in-Chief of Investor Daily and Jakarta Globe Djaka Susila. Moderated by Soza Hutapea, news anchor at BeritaSatu, the session explores AI’s advancement from technological and media industry perspectives, highlighting its implications for journalistic practices, information credibility, and public trust.

In addition to the workshop, UT Group organizes the 2026 Journalist Competition, featuring two categories: journalistic writing and AI-generated poster design. Running from August 20 to September 27, 2026, the competition gives journalists a platform to showcase their creativity while encouraging responsible technology use in journalism. As of mid-September 2026, the competition has 40 participants: 29 in the writing category and 11 in the AI poster category. The winners are announced during the 2026 UT Group Media Workshop.

Through these initiatives, UT reaffirms its commitment to fostering sustainable relationships with the media, built on openness, constructive dialogue, and mutual respect for each other’s independence and professionalism. UT believes that long-term sustainability is defined not only by an organization’s longevity but also by its ability to continuously learn, adapt, and maintain stakeholder trust. With this commitment, UT aims to further strengthen its collaboration with the media and contribute to a credible, responsible, and trustworthy information ecosystem.

Every significant achievement is the outcome of a long journey, sustained collaboration, and the contributions of countless people. Over the past 54 years, PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) has continued to grow, propelled by the dedication of everyone who has played a part in its story. Under the theme “The Spirit of Moving Forward Together, Every Contribution Matters,” UT’s 54th anniversary offers an occasion to honor each individual’s contribution, foster a stronger sense of ownership, and strengthen the shared spirit  to meet future challenges and seize new opportunities.

President Director Iwan Hadiantoro extended his gratitude to the entire UT family, principals, business partners, customers, and other stakeholders, whose trust and support have been integral to the company’s journey. He emphasized that UT’s sustained growth rests on the efforts of people across generations who work, learn, adapt, and diligently uphold their responsibilities.

“A company’s grand journey is always built upon the contributions of many. Moving forward together means sharing a common goal and strengthening collaboration across functions, generations, and the entire organization.

Amid a shifting business landscape, rapid technological change, and evolving customer needs, UT continues to advance its transformation by broadening its business portfolio, fostering innovation, harnessing technology, and strengthening competencies and leadership. These efforts are guided by the spirit of “Growing from Within” and are evident in everyday actions, from refining work processes, improving service quality, and reinforcing safety standards to having the courage to share ideas and collaborate in pursuit of better performance.

That same spirit of togetherness ran through the anniversary celebrations, which offered a range of activities for the entire UT community. Pekan Olahraga dan Seni UT (Porse UT) (“UT Sports and Arts Week”) brought together employees from various divisions, branches, and subsidiaries across 16 competitive events. Beyond the competition itself, Porse UT provided a space to build relationships, nurture sportsmanship, and deepen collaboration across the UT Group.

The festive atmosphere was further enlivened by the “54 Move Challenge,” which encouraged employees to earn points through a variety of engaging activities, while “UT Got Talent” gave them a stage to showcase their talents and creativity. An innovation exhibition featuring contributions from all directorates and subsidiaries completed the festivities, spotlighting a diverse range of ideas and initiatives aimed at driving the company’s progress.

The celebrations concluded on October 13, 2026, at the UT Head Office in Jakarta, where UT also recognized high-achieving individuals through the Harmony Awards, UT Commfest, Educational Awards, Innovation Awards, and the Best Employee Championship (BEC). These recognitions acknowledge the achievements, dedication, and tangible contributions that underpin UT’s growth and advancement.

Having reached its 54th anniversary, UT continues to encourage all its people to build their capabilities, strengthen operational excellence, boost productivity and efficiency, and uphold the highest standards of integrity and safety in every task. Embracing the spirit of “Moving as One,” UT believes that diverse roles are no barrier to pursuing a common goal. Rather, these complementary contributions are a source of strength that sustains the company’s competitiveness and delivers broader benefits to Indonesia’s development.

We hope this competition will serve as a starting point for solutions that can be further developed and deliver benefits to the wider community,” said Himawan Sutanto, Head of the Corporate Social Responsibility Department.

SOBAT Competition 2026 features seven competition categories: Senior High School (SMA/MA), Vocational High School – General (SMK Umum), Vocational High School – Teaching Factory (SMK Teaching Factory/TeFa), Polytechnic or University, Teachers, Lecturers, and Disability Groups. These diverse categories give participants from various backgrounds opportunities to contribute innovations aligned with their competencies and potential.

Enthusiasm for the competition has grown year after year. In 2024, a total of 848 innovations were registered. This figure rose to 1,025 innovations in 2025 and further to 1,108 in 2026.

Each entry is evaluated based on creativity, functionality, implementation potential, and relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). To ensure a high-quality, objective evaluation, the first stage is supported by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, while the second and third stages involve cross-evaluation by two judges.

UT’s commitment to sustainable development is also reflected in the return of the Disability Groups category. This category is open to active students enrolled in special needs senior high schools (SMALB), special needs vocational high schools (SMKLB), or equivalent institutions, including individuals with sensory, physical, intellectual, and mental disabilities.

Including this category reinforces the principle that opportunities to innovate and contribute to society should be accessible to everyone. UT aims to ensure that the potential and creativity of the younger generation can flourish without being limited by differences in background or individual circumstances.

To develop high-quality innovations, SOBAT Competition 2026 uses three selection stages. Participants first submitted their innovation entries by the July 10, 2026 registration deadline. A total of 120 innovations advanced to the second stage and were given the opportunity to refine their papers and prototypes, supported by funding for prototype development or research.

In the final stage, the 35 best innovations, representing five entries from each category, presented their work online before a panel of judges. This process assessed not only the quality of the innovations but also participants’ ability to explain the benefits, implementation potential, and impact of their work.

In addition to the selection process, participants received guidance through webinars and coaching clinics. The sessions covered using AI to prepare scientific papers, create engaging and educational videos, and develop communication skills. These activities were expected to help participants refine their innovations while strengthening their ability to communicate their ideas effectively.

UT remains committed to promoting innovation and empowering the younger generation as part of its efforts to build self-reliant and sustainable villages. In line with the spirit of “Village Innovation, for Indonesia,” SOBAT Competition 2026 is expected to generate innovative solutions that deliver tangible benefits to communities and contribute to Indonesia’s sustainable development.
