On 31 March 2026, the International Pepper Community (IPC) and the School of Economics, Business, and Management, Institute of Technology Batam (ITEBA) formally signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) as a strategic follow-up to the Memorandum of Understanding established in early December 2025.
Signed by Ms. Marina N. Anggraini, Executive Director of the IPC, and Mr. Taufiq Rahman, S.T., M.T., Dean of the School of Economics, Business, and Management at ITEBA, this milestone reflects a shared commitment to transforming institutional intent into practical collaboration.
The partnership will advance research, professional development, and sustainable economic innovation, bringing together academic insight and global industry perspectives to support the long-term resilience of the pepper sector.

From vision to action, and from action to lasting value.
