Our Story

Where It All Began

SciencePreneur was born from a simple but powerful conviction: scientific knowledge should not remain confined to laboratories and academic journals. It should reach communities, drive industries, and solve the real challenges that people face every day.

The idea first took shape in 2012, when Kholis Abdurachim Audah, Ph.D was appointed as Lead Consultant of Research and Laboratory for the establishment of IMERI FKUI — the Indonesia Medical Education and Research Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia. Working at the intersection of biochemistry, natural product discovery, and community health, he recognized a persistent gap between scientific breakthroughs and their real-world application.

Over the following years, this vision matured into platforms like INPL and CitMed, earned international recognition, and grew into a comprehensive sciencepreneurship ecosystem. SciencePreneur officially launched in 2025 — connecting science with society on a global scale.
