FISIP Shark Tank 2025, successfully organized by the Creative Economy Division of BEM FISIP Universitas Diponegoro, carried the theme “Scale-Up Your Innovations” to foster a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem, particularly for student entrepreneurs in Semarang. The event spanned half a month, from November 1 to its grand finale on November 19, 2025.
The program consisted of several key activities. It began with a gathering featuring a mini talk show that discussed business development tips and the dynamics of entrepreneurship. This was followed by a pitching stimulus class that explored essential strategies for delivering persuasive pitches to potential investors in order to secure funding support. The agenda culminated in the Final Pitching Day, where each team competed to win over investors and secure business funding—an impressive amount reaching IDR 250,000,000. FISIP Shark Tank 2025 was held across several venues, including Burjo Bae, REZ Hotel, and Hetero Space.
Ten active participants, divided into five entrepreneurial teams, took part in this competition, each offering fresh and promising business ideas. The event was designed to equip participants with practical skills ranging from business model development, enhancing customer value, financial management, to the crucial ability to present confidently before investors by building strong and convincing brand identities. The series of activities also featured experienced speakers—many of whom were fellow student entrepreneurs—ensuring highly relatable discussions. Among them were Muhammad Daffa A., Putra Versa, Naufal Akila, and Muhammad Razan.
The peak of the event took place on Sunday, November 9, 2025. All participants attended the pitching session, creating an intense and competitive atmosphere as it determined the future of their respective ventures. Five teams—Wignesa, Oversoul, Mahakopi, Piosty Ice, and Zappinx—presented their businesses in turn. Their proposals showcased a wide range of innovative concepts, from F&B and fashion to technology. Following the pitching session, investors were given several days to deliberate and decide which businesses they would fund.
This year’s FISIP Shark Tank not only celebrated student creativity but also strengthened the entrepreneurial spirit of young innovators eager to make their mark in the business world.
