Main Article Content
Abstract
Indonesian commerce is a key factor that contributes significantly to the long- term viability of economic growth and development. Indonesia's physical location as a key archipelago influences its ability to impact economic trends. Following the Covid- 19 outbreak, global trade conditions changed in ways that impacted the national economy. Indonesia is one of the countries hit by the pandemic-related problems. The Indonesian government encourages policymakers to transform and strengthen its position in international commerce. One of the major strategies to promote economic recovery is a sustained growth in exports. The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, founded Sekolah Ekspor to empower exporters and boost entrepreneurship in Indonesian products. This study aims to examine Sekolah Ekspor program, which has the potential to boost Indonesia's post-pandemic trade mobilization, using Adam Smith's Theory of Economic Liberalism and Pentahelix Theory, which combines the collaborative roles of five elements: government, academics, business entities or actors, society or community, and the media. This study employs a qualitative approach, with data collected from relevant documents and literature.
