In winter 2020, I joined an international volunteer in the Czech Republic to break the cultural barriers in Czech Students by sharing the cultures. Presenting Indonesian cultures in five schools while exploring other cultures taught me to be a good world citizen, country representative, and teacher at the same time. I am extremely curious about European country’s cultures and technology after seeing the diverse conditions of the European countries I have visited during the project break. Ireland is considered as the country of festivals and technology leading country will definitely fulfill my personal and professional purposes for my Master’s.

Professionally, I had worked in three national startup companies with different levels of sustainability and industry, which impressed me with the importance of technology and innovation following the startup conditions.

Therefore, I want to Master technology, innovation, project, and strategy management courses at the Technology University of Dublin. I also wish to join the research project of “enterprise business” in my chosen university to gain new ideas and connect with startup founders in Ireland.

Though Indonesia startups significantly arise, the fact that only 5% of startups survive due to the lack of innovation and market needs understanding was saddening.
