REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DENPASAR -- Bank Indonesia (BI) or the Central Bank of Bali chapter hoped that the younger generation in this province becomes motivators and fosters new entrepreneurs as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015 takes shape.

The Head of the Bali provincial chapter of Bank Indonesia, Dewi Setyowati, said here on Saturday that innovative products can be a result of opportunities, and can be products that have a special value and not yet in mass-production.

"Originality must be protected and intellectual property rights also must be protected. In (the name of) creating innovation, do not make existing products in bulk," she reminded.

According to her, the narcissistic stick product is one such innovative product that was apt for the times we live in and was created by a young Indonesian entrepreneur.
