This Year's General Theme
The supply chain aspect in the manufacturing industry can be one of the factors contributing to the macroeconomic growth in Indonesia. This growth can be assessed by the increase in GDP, which correlates with the rising number of business transactions using the supply chain model. Nowadays, the supply chain business model is frequently employed by various large companies worldwide, posing challenges in both the business and legal realms. These challenges arise due to the necessity of understanding the supply chain business model and the legal aspects involved in its design and implementation. Therefore, the economic growth in Indonesia is closely tied to business transactions, including supply chain business, as it currently represents a trending business model among major companies globally.
In line with that, “Strengthen The Chain, Establish Cooperation” signifies that by strengthening the supply chain in international transactions, it will foster good collaboration between companies. In this context, the transactions refer to international transactions involving parties from two different countries. The strengthening of the international supply chain can serve as a stimulus for economic growth, leading to improved well-being and national progress, thus aligning with the achievement of national aspirations. Based on these principles, The 13th BLC is presented as a tangible manifestation of the theme and tagline through a national-scale business law competition. It includes Contract Drafting and Negotiation (CDNC), Legal Opinion Competition (LOC), and Paper Presentation Competition (PPC), supported by a series of other events.
