Скачать или смотреть Seizing Opportunities: Gambir Ink in Indonesia’s Elections | Daimon Syukri | TEDxUniversitas Andalas

Innovation isn’t just about discovery—it’s about recognizing opportunities and making them happen.

In this session, Daimon Syukri shares how he and his team turned Gambir ink into one of Universitas Andalas' standout contributions to Indonesia’s presidential election. While Gambir-based ink is not entirely new, their ability to navigate challenges, seize the right moment, and bring this innovation to the national stage is what sets their journey apart.

Through persistence, strategic thinking, and collaboration, they transformed a traditional material into a groundbreaking solution. This talk isn’t just about Gambir—it’s about the power of acting on opportunities when they arise. Mr. Daimon Syukri is an accomplished academic and researcher with a focus on the application of agricultural products and innovation in technology. His latest breakthrough? Harnessing the untapped potential of gambir (Uncaria gambir)—a plant rooted in heritage yet brimming with modern possibilities. Daimon’s team has developed an eco-friendly, plant-based ink for the 2024 Indonesian presidential election ballots, proving that natural resources can drive industrial innovation while protecting the planet.
His work in this area demonstrates a commitment to blending traditional knowledge with modern scientific approaches, particularly in utilizing plant-based materials to address contemporary challenges. The gambir ink project is an example of his team's success in exploring sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives for industrial applications.
