Jakarta, 1 May 2026 – PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) has officially announced the teams from eight public and private universities in Indonesia selected to advance to the final round of Genera-Z Berbakti 2026. Genera-Z Berbakti is a call for proposal program for student groups to serve the community in Bakti BCA assisted villages.
The eight teams were chosen after BCA conducted a selection process for more than 260 proposals from 98 universities submitted during the Genera-Z Berbakti 2026 registration period. They will compete by pitching their ideas before three panelists for the opportunity to serve the community directly in four Bakti BCA Villages.
“BCA congratulates the eight teams that have qualified for the final round of Genera-Z Berbakti 2026. Generally, all the proposals we received contained various innovative ideas and demonstrated the immense spirit of the younger generation to serve and create a real impact. For the teams that did not advance, we hope you keep your spirit and ideas alive so they can still be realized. We hope the finalists will showcase their best abilities to advocate for their proposals before the panelists,” said BCA EVP Corporate Communication & Social Responsibility Hera F. Haryn.
The following is the list of Bakti BCA Villages for program implementation, along with the Genera-Z Berbakti 2026 finalists and their proposed projects:

"We believe the Genera-Z Berbakti panelists have excellent and relevant track records, enabling them to determine the best proposals worthy of being realized in each target Bakti BCA Village. We hope Genera-Z Berbakti 2026 can serve as a platform for students to exchange ideas and become more enthusiastic about contributing to their surroundings," said Hera.
Genera-Z Berbakti is open to students from various universities in Indonesia who wish to implement innovative ideas and contribute directly to society through Student Community Service (KKN), community service programs, or similar activities in Bakti BCA assisted tourism villages.
