Through this initiative, Pegadaian is also contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 4: Quality Education. The company hopes this Creative Room will become a platform for students to develop research projects, entrepreneurial ventures, and sustainable tech-based solutions.
