Empowering Growth: Strengthening MSME-Large Corporation Partnerships for Indonesia’s Economic Future

Abstract

This research highlights the importance of partnerships between MSMEs and large corporations in driving Indonesia’s economic growth. MSMEs play a crucial role as the primary drivers of job creation and national economic expansion. These partnerships offer significant benefits, such as knowledge transfer, broader market access, and enhanced resources. However, despite being regulated by law, the supervision of these partnerships faces challenges, particularly in terms of legal substance and framework. The KPPU plays a vital role in ensuring that these partnerships operate under the principles of equality, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit. This study emphasizes the need for clearer and more comprehensive legal reforms to protect MSMEs from exploitative practices and ensure that partnerships deliver sustainable benefits to all parties involved.
