SINTANG - The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) of Sintang Regency has once again conducted capacity building and innovation refreshment for KAIN IKAT (Information Service Cadres and Licensing Assistance in Districts) as well as business licensing services for Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) actors. This time, the activity was carried out in Sungai Tebelian District on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

Strengthening KAIN IKAT Services in Sungai Tebelian District

KAIN IKAT is a flagship program of DPMPTSP Sintang Regency that aims to bring licensing services closer to the community, especially in district areas far from the city center. Through this program, trained cadres at the district level help business actors obtain information and assist in the licensing process.

"The KAIN IKAT program is very strategic in our efforts to bring licensing services closer to the community. With cadres in the districts, business actors don't need to travel far to the city to manage licensing," said the PTSP Coordinator of DPMPTSP Sintang Regency in his remarks.

This capacity building activity includes updates on the latest licensing regulations, introduction to online licensing application systems, and training on assistance techniques for MSE actors. KAIN IKAT cadres in Sungai Tebelian District are expected to further improve the quality of services provided to the community after participating in this briefing.

Direct Licensing Services for MSE Actors

In addition to capacity building for KAIN IKAT cadres, DPMPTSP Sintang Regency also provided direct business licensing services to MSE actors in Sungai Tebelian District. Dozens of business actors attended to take advantage of this opportunity to complete their business licensing documents.

"We see that there are still many MSE actors who do not have complete business licenses. In fact, these licenses are very important for the future development of their businesses, including access to financing and other government programs," explained the DPMPTSP Service Team Coordinator.

During the activity, the DPMPTSP team helped MSE actors manage various types of licenses, such as Business Identification Numbers (NIB), Micro and Small Business Licenses (IUMK), and Standard Certificates. This service is provided free of charge in accordance with the government's commitment to supporting local economic growth through strengthening the MSE sector.

Community and MSE Actor Enthusiasm

The presence of the DPMPTSP team in Sungai Tebelian District received an enthusiastic welcome from the local community. Hundreds of residents and business actors filled the Sungai Tebelian District Hall to get information and licensing services.

"I am very grateful for the presence of the DPMPTSP team in our district. I have always delayed taking care of business licenses due to distance and time constraints. With this mobile service, I can finally manage the license for the coffee shop I run," said Mr. Ahmad, one of the MSE actors in Sungai Tebelian District.

The Head of Sungai Tebelian District also expressed appreciation for the initiative of DPMPTSP Sintang Regency in bringing licensing services closer to the community. According to him, this activity is very beneficial in encouraging business formality in his area, which is predominantly still operating in the informal sector.

Economic Potential of Sungai Tebelian District

Sungai Tebelian District is known to have considerable economic potential, especially in the agriculture, plantation, and home industry sectors. Many MSE actors are engaged in agricultural product processing, crafts, and local culinary specialties.

"Sungai Tebelian District has many featured products with potential for development, such as tempeh chips, bamboo weaving, and freshwater fish products. With business legality, these products can develop further and penetrate wider markets," explained the Head of Economic Section of Sungai Tebelian District.

DPMPTSP Sintang Regency hopes that with this KAIN IKAT capacity building and direct licensing service, they can encourage local economic growth through strengthening the MSE sector in Sungai Tebelian District.
