Furthermore, Sigit hopes that this event will also encourage collaboration among communities with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This will ultimately become a beneficial activity for all levels of society.

"This is a collaboration between us, the Indonesian Judo Association (PJSI), the community, and the local government to support sports programs. We will continue to hold these events in the future in our search for talented athletes," said Sigit.

In addition to improving the regional economy, Sigit explained that this activity can serve as a foundation for developing resilient human resources (HR) to face all kinds of challenges.

"On the one hand, it also revitalizes the regional economy, and we also instill the values ​​of discipline, enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and fair play. This is certainly important for our future generations to face the various challenges ahead," Sigit concluded.
