Bogor, 13 November 2026 – PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) once again held the National Summit as the closing of a development program series for 700 university students recipients of Beasiswa Bakti BCA or Bakti Champions. Held on November 10–13, 2026, in Sentul, Bogor, the event served as a moment to appreciate participants' achievements while equipping them with the competencies and readiness to face the professional world and contribute to society.
The main event on Thursday (12/11) was attended directly by BCA President Director Hendra Lembong in the Leaders Insight session, sharing his experience in becoming a professional leader of character. In addition, Cinta Laura Kiehl also attended the Inspirational Talk session, encouraging Bakti Champions to continuously develop their potential and be courageous in taking on roles to create positive change in society.
Hendra Lembong stated, “Through the Beasiswa Bakti BCA, we aim to support Indonesia’s young generation so that they not only excel academically, but also possess strong character, competence, and care for their surrounding environment. We hope the experiences gained throughout this program will serve as a foundation for the Bakti Champions as they enter the professional world, continue developing their potential, and make positive contributions to society.”
Hendra also appreciated one of the program's flagship series, the Bakti Champions Movement, as a tangible application of the competencies learned by presenting innovations to address challenges faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Through a project-based learning approach, participants developed innovations expected to deliver measurable impact for MSMEs while introducing BCA solutions relevant to business needs.
Three top teams from the Bakti Champions Movement program were selected after presenting their developed innovations, namely Universitas Gadjah Mada as first place, Universitas Airlangga as second place, and Institut Teknologi Bandung as third place. Furthermore, BCA presented awards to selected Bakti Champions based on their achievements and performance throughout the development program.
Meanwhile, BCA Director Antonius Widodo Mulyono stated that the Beasiswa Bakti BCA program is comprehensively designed through activities that equip students with soft skills and
real-world experience relevant to the professional world. BCA believes that the Beasiswa Bakti BCA program series can serve as an important foundation in building a better future.
“We hope the learning and networks built throughout the program do not stop here, but continue to grow through collaboration and tangible contributions within their respective communities. As a result, Bakti Champions can become competitive agents of change and make tangible contributions to the nation,” said Antonius Widodo Mulyono.
Beyond serving as the culmination of the Beasiswa Bakti BCA program, the 2026 National Summit also marked a milestone for Bakti Champions to join the Bakti Champions Community, an alumni network for Beasiswa Bakti BCA recipients. In this capacity, Bakti Champions are encouraged to remain active in building networks at their respective universities while carrying forward the spirit of sharing and social contribution instilled throughout the Beasiswa Bakti BCA program.
As part of the 2026 National Summit series, Bakti Champions were also specially invited to explore one of the Desa Bakti BCA through a half-day tour of Glodok Chinatown. During the visit to Glodok Chinatown, Bakti Champions were introduced to the concept of green tourism and participated in various activities, including historical, cultural, and shopping tours.
“We hope this entire series of activities can serve as valuable preparation for your journey ahead. Be part of a community that supports, inspires, and encourages one another to continue growing and give a positive impact,” concluded Antonius Widodo.
