- Supports young entrepreneurs in Indonesia across the entire startup lifecycle
- Held 'MAJU:ON Networking Day' in Jakarta on February 11, connecting startups with government officials and investors

SEOUL, South Korea and JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SK Innovation E&S, an energy affiliate of South Korea's SK group, is taking the lead in nurturing young entrepreneurs in Indonesia to build an innovative ecosystem in energy and environment industries.
On February 11, SK Innovation E&S hosted the 'MAJU:ON Networking Day' at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Jakarta, Indonesia. The 'MAJU:ON' project, launched last year by SK Innovation E&S in partnership with Korean ESG solution company 'UD Impact', has been supporting youth entrepreneurship in Indonesia's energy and environment sectors.
Through the project, SK Innovation E&S provides end-to-end entrepreneurship support – from idea development and training to networking and investment connections. The program recruits young entrepreneurs to offer specialized business and technical education, and organizes a hackathon competition to select and reward promising teams. Winners proceed to advanced management training, participate in the 'Networking Day' event to meet policymakers and investors, and receive mentoring opportunities. Among them, two to three outstanding teams will receive business funding and participate in a 'Final Demo Day' event in May 2026, where they will have the chance to pitch their ideas to venture capital firms.
The project drew significant response in its first year, attracting applicants from over 220 teams, reaching capacity earlier than expected. Among them, 127 teams were selected to participate in a four-week training program, culminating in a hackathon held in November, where 10 top-performing teams were chosen to attend this 'Networking Day'.
The event brought together around 60 participants, including hackathon awardees, key officials from Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia (ESDM), Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises of Indonesia (UMKM), representatives from eight leading universities, and private-sector investors.
The program featured a mentor and ambassador appointment ceremony, presentations by the hackathon winners, and a panel discussion. During the panel discussion, experts held in-depth discussions on Indonesia's policy directions in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the importance of nurturing young entrepreneurs, and strategies to address community and environmental challenges. Notably, the grand prize-winning team of hackathon, 'GISACT', presented a solution platform that leverages AI technology to analyze satellite data and propose optimal land-use strategies.
Building on the success of this event, SK Innovation E&S plans to further strengthen the foundation of Korea-Indonesia cooperation. Follow-up initiatives include creation of a joint investment fund, networking programs between young entrepreneurs from both countries, and co-hosting bilateral conferences.
A representative from SK Innovation E&S stated, "The MAJU:ON project provides new opportunities for Indonesian youth and contributes to the country's sustainable growth by fostering an innovation ecosystem in the energy and environment sectors. We will continue to create future growth engines and take the lead in realizing global social value through close collaboration with Korean and Indonesian governments, universities, and industry."

SK Innovation E&S Nurtures Young Entrepreneurs in Indonesia's Energy and Environment Sectors
NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- I Ching Stream has launched its comprehensive English-language platform, ichingstream.com, offering international readers a structured pathway into the I Ching as it is actually practiced in China today. Founded by Xuan Wanyan, the platform addresses a longstanding gap in the field: the absence of a coherent, practice-oriented English library of core classics centered on the Na Jia method (Wen Wang Gua).
In the English-speaking world, modern engagement with these materials has historically been shaped by a small number of influential twentieth-century translations, including editions associated with Richard Wilhelm and James Legge. These works created an enduring entry point for many readers and remain important to the modern reception of the tradition. Within that early English-language lens, the best-known procedural layer has often been the Great Expansion yarrow-stalk method, documented and discussed in major translations and studies as a classical casting procedure.
In parallel, global interest in Chinese history and cultural systems has accelerated in recent years, including popular online discourse framed as "Very Chinese Time" or "Chinamaxxing." I Ching Stream responds to this momentum through a disciplined, source-based framework, emphasizing long-term study, structure, and editorial rigor rather than trend-driven appropriation.
However, beyond this well-documented layer, technically central materials preserved in Chinese sources have remained difficult to access in English as coherent systems. Among these, the Na Jia method (Wen Wang Gua), a core framework in mainstream practice, has long lacked comprehensive, system-based representation. English resources have often appeared as fragmented excerpts, secondary commentary, or inconsistent terminology, limiting readers' ability to track structure across long texts, follow recurring symbols, or compare parallel passages across multiple classics.
I Ching Stream addresses this structural gap through systematic translation and editorial organization of core Na Jia classics, alongside closely related technical works, presented as a unified English-language library grounded in primary sources. The goal is to transmit these sources as internally coherent systems that can be studied consistently in English.
A key obstacle in translation is the handling of cyclical symbols used throughout classical Chinese texts and the traditional Chinese calendar. To preserve their functional role while keeping the page readable in English, I Ching Stream publishes a standardized notation system: for Chinese calendar usage, the Ten Heavenly Stems are rendered as Roman numerals (Jia=I, Yi=II, Bing=III, Ding=IV, Wu=V, Ji=VI, Geng=VII, Xin=VIII, Ren=IX, Gui=X) and the Twelve Earthly Branches as stable letter codes (Zi=A, Chou=B, Yin=C, Mao=D, Chen=E, Si=F, Wu=G, Wei=H, Shen=J, You=K, Xu=L, Hai=M), applied consistently across editions.
"The difficulty is not vocabulary alone," said founder Xuan Wanyan. "These texts are highly structured. If translation loses structural consistency, readers lose the system. Our work focuses on preserving internal mechanics while presenting them in a form English readers can actually follow."
Xuan Wanyan is a Columbia University graduate and a U.S. CPA with an applied AI background and international experience. She has spent years studying traditional Chinese culture and previously held financial management roles at multinational companies. She founded I Ching Stream to build scalable English-language publishing infrastructure and notation standards for technically dense classical Chinese source literature.
Since launch, I Ching Stream has attracted readers across North America, Europe, and Latin America, including independent scholars, translators, educators, and serious learners. Additional translations and supporting study resources are planned throughout 2026 as the platform continues building a durable English-language foundation and a scalable publishing-and-tools infrastructure for global readers.
