On the second day, Business Camp 2025 featured an interactive talk show titled “Build and Bloom – The Business Creation Session,” with Novti Nurlaila Ramadhanti, S.Pd., as the speaker. This session discussed business development strategies, market innovation, and business sustainability through interactive discussions with participants.
