About Us
Because COSMOS understands that various SMEs at different stages struggle to develop their businesses, we have a long-term vision to boost Indonesian SMEs by stimulating their value chain integration in order to accelerate their development.
Together with professional leaders who believe that SMEs are integral to Indonesian culture, COSMOS conducts research, education, and public advocacy to help Indonesian SMEs grow.
Our Approach
COSMOS believes that each and every Indonesian UKM should have an equal opportunity to grow its business, expand its market, become a trendsetter and win over a domestic market, eventually becoming globally competitive.
In addition, COSMOS strives for alleviating poverty, reducing the unemployment rate, promoting a circular economy, and accelerating economic growth for the social welfare of Indonesia, an element in SME the chain, both upstream and downstream.
Our Commitment
on Partnership and Collaboration.
As an independent think tank, COSMOS embraces every type of partnership and collaboration, as long it is based on the same purpose and values as ours.
At this initial stage, COSMOS now gets full support from Evermos, a leading social commerce platform in Indonesia that is also committed for promoting the growth and development of SMEs.
