BJ Habibie was Indonesia’s 3rd president, and the 1st president to follow President Soeharto’s 31 years in office. Often referred to as the “Father of Democracy,” BJ Habibie led the process of democratization and political openness in Indonesia.
But BJ Habibie is known for much more than establishing the world’s 3rd largest democracy. Aside from being the “Father of Democracy,” BJ Habibie is maybe better known as the “Father of Technology.”
Before his time in the presidential office, BJ Habibie spent 20 years as the minister of Research and Technology – this is longer than any other minister in Southeast Asia has held this position. As an aerospace engineer, BJ Habibie holds more than 40 patents to his name, and has paved the way for Indonesia in the fields of science, research, and technology.
This four day event is held in commemoration of Bapak BJ Habibie’s 80th birthday, and in anticipation of the advancement of innovation in Indonesia.
The Habibie Festival promotes interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) to create future Indonesian leaders.
