Kalara Borneo Secures Top 20 Spot in PaDi Akademi Pertamina Regional Kalimantan 2025

Pontianak, 2025 – PaDi UMKM in collaboration with Rumah BUMN Palangkaraya officially launched the PaDi Akademi Pertamina Regional Kalimantan 2025, a comprehensive training and mentoring program designed to strengthen the capacity, competitiveness, and digital transformation of UMKM under Pertamina’s Rumah BUMN across Kalimantan.

From more than 200 applicants, Kalara Borneo successfully secured a place in the Top 20 UMKM of West Kalimantan. Prior to advancing to the next stage, all participants completed an intensive six-week online training program. The selected Top 20 UMKM then continued with an offline training session held in Pontianak.

During the offline training, the Founder of Kalara Borneo received special recognition for posing one of the best questions and was awarded third place among participants of the PaDi Akademi Pertamina offline training in Pontianak.

“This experience not only broadened our perspective but also equipped us with new insights to develop stronger business strategies, especially in navigating digital transformation,” said the Founder of Kalara Borneo after receiving the acknowledgment.

The program will move forward with another round of curation, where the Top 20 UMKM will be shortlisted once again for the opportunity to participate in a Business Matching with BUMN in Palangkaraya. This upcoming stage is expected to provide a tangible platform for UMKM to expand networks, foster collaborations, and explore potential partnerships with BUMN and other strategic stakeholders.

Kalara Borneo’s achievement in this program reflects the company’s commitment to continuous growth, innovation, and contribution to strengthening the local economy through competitive and resilient UMKM.
