Berikan Protein Initiative was honored to participate in the prestigious High-Level Forum Multi Stakeholder Partnership (HLF MSP) held in Nusa Dua, Bali, from September 1 to 3, 2024. The event brought together global thought leaders, innovators, and policy makers to address critical challenges in sustainable development.

The forum, themed “Unlocking the Blue Economy for Sustainable Growth: Creating Value and Promoting Investment to Improve Productivity,” served as a platform for global discussions on innovative approaches to economic development. During the panel, Yogie Arry, Berikan Protein Initiative’s founder introduced the initiative’s cutting-edge innovation—fish protein hydrolysate—as a cornerstone for building Indonesia’s blue economy. This new industrial opportunity is positioned to deliver a multiplier effect for economic growth and help accelerate efforts to eradicate stunting by providing accessible, high-quality protein to communities in need.

As part of the discussion, Yogie Arry presented Milk From Fish 'Susu Ikan', a groundbreaking product that represents a significant opportunity for broad-based industry development. The initiative seeks to integrate Milk From Fish 'Susu Ikan' into Indonesia's National Nutritious Eating and Free Milk Drinking program under the Prabowo-Gibran administration, aiming to deliver essential nutrition to children across the country.

In his address, Yogie Arry extended an invitation to international partners to collaborate in realizing the vision of protein autonomy based on this innovative fish milk technology. By working with global stakeholders, Berikan Protein Initiative aims to scale production, advance research, and ensure the wide distribution of Susu Ikan both within Indonesia and beyond. These collaborations will be crucial in developing a sustainable, resilient protein industry that can enhance food security and stimulate economic growth across the globe.

"We believe that achieving protein autonomy is not just a national goal, but a global opportunity. We welcome international partners to join us in this journey, sharing expertise, technology, and investment to create a new frontier in sustainable nutrition," said Yogie Arry.
