The Andale Team won second place in the Business Creation Competition at the Indonesia Business Management Network (BMN) Competition (BMNC) 2026, held at Universitas Airlangga in Surabaya on October 20, 2026.
The Andale Team is a collaboration among students from the USU Faculty of Vocational Studies and Faculty of Economics and Business.

In the competition, the Andale Team competed in the Business Creation category, which challenged participants to develop business ideas and demonstrate their ability to design innovative and competitive business concepts.
The team’s second-place achievement is a source of pride for USU and highlights students’ potential to develop creativity, analytical skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset through national-level competitions.
This achievement was made possible in part by the guidance of the team’s faculty advisor, Saddam Husein Nasution, M.Si., who supported the team in preparing for the competition.
Universitas Sumatera Utara continues to encourage students to develop their academic and non-academic potential, including by participating in competitions that strengthen their competencies, creativity, and readiness to face challenges in the workplace and business world.
The Andale Team’s achievement at BMNC 2026 is expected to inspire other USU students to continue creating, innovating, and bringing honor to the university through achievements at both national and international levels.
