Entrepreneurship education has been growingly acknowledged in developing entrepreneurs and its urgency is even more pertinent in the context of a disaster-prone region like Aceh, Indonesia. The objective of this study is to explore how technopreneurship education has been empowered in disaster-prone regions like Aceh taking the experience of an Atsiri Research Center (ARC) in the biggest public university in Aceh. It seeks to understand how the center has been supporting the community development post-tsunami 2004 within the entrepreneurship process. The notion of technopreneurship is employed as the ARC has been focusing on entrepreneurship based on technology and innovation. The ARC has been recognized for its role and successful initiatives in technology and innovation as well as for organizing various entrepreneurship education programs. This research is based on a qualitative approach utilizing autoethnography and semi-structured interviews with selected pertinent individuals who are greatly involved in entrepreneurship education at the ARC. Interview questions were developed based on the framework of the general entrepreneurship process consisting of 1. Innovation, 2. Triggering, 3. Implementation, and 4. Growth. It was identified that the ARC establishment, as well as its program developments, have been largely motivated by the realization and responsibility to rebuild Aceh post-Tsunami-2004. The society-welfare goal has been driving the ARC as an organization to creatively develop the entrepreneurship education program that is believed to ensure the attainment of entrepreneurial objectives and increase community resilience. ARC has set out the unique goal of not merely aiming for research achievement but ultimately how research can benefit the community. The strategy adopted also emphasizes Penta helix collaboration of the university, government, business partners, media, and community. Several challenges were noted in the program’s implementation as well as the efforts to grow the center together with its programs for community resilience in this particular disaster-prone region.

摘要

Entrepreneurship education has been growingly acknowledged in developing entrepreneurs and its urgency is even more pertinent in the context of a disaster-prone region like Aceh, Indonesia. The objective of this study is to explore how technopreneurship education has been empowered in disaster-prone regions like Aceh taking the experience of an Atsiri Research Center (ARC) in the biggest public university in Aceh. It seeks to understand how the center has been supporting the community development post-tsunami 2004 within the entrepreneurship process. The notion of technopreneurship is employed as the ARC has been focusing on entrepreneurship based on technology and innovation. The ARC has been recognized for its role and successful initiatives in technology and innovation as well as for organizing various entrepreneurship education programs. This research is based on a qualitative approach utilizing autoethnography and semi-structured interviews with selected pertinent individuals who are greatly involved in entrepreneurship education at the ARC. Interview questions were developed based on the framework of the general entrepreneurship process consisting of 1. Innovation, 2. Triggering, 3. Implementation, and 4. Growth. It was identified that the ARC establishment, as well as its program developments, have been largely motivated by the realization and responsibility to rebuild Aceh post-Tsunami-2004. The society-welfare goal has been driving the ARC as an organization to creatively develop the entrepreneurship education program that is believed to ensure the attainment of entrepreneurial objectives and increase community resilience. ARC has set out the unique goal of not merely aiming for research achievement but ultimately how research can benefit the community. The strategy adopted also emphasizes Penta helix collaboration of the university, government, business partners, media, and community. Several challenges were noted in the program’s implementation as well as the efforts to grow the center together with its programs for community resilience in this particular disaster-prone region.
