Nien-Tsao Tsai, President of Scent Store, said, "In addition to introducing new technology, we also want to contribute to the empowerment of Indonesia's digital talents, and through Scent Store's Creator Mode, we hope that students will acquire the skills to create and deliver their own scent, thereby becoming future digital perfumers who will be able to work in the world. We want to develop human resources who can work globally as digital perfumers," said Dr. Moeldoko, who responded very positively.
