SMES 15 picked for business  transformation course 

By The Nation

 

 

UOB (Thai) has announced the 15 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) selected to participate in the nation's first Smart Business Transformation Programme.

 

This programme is run by The FinLab, in collaboration with the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa), National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and the Office of SMEs Promotion (OSMEP).

 

 The 15 SMEs, selected from close to 150 applicants in Bangkok, come from a diverse range of sectors such as food and beverage, retail, travel, logistics and manufacturing. They were chosen in recognition of their acute awareness of their business constraints and challenges, as well as for their openness to explore new ideas and to use digital tools for scaling new heights in their business.

 

 Through the Smart Business Transformation Programme, UOB (Thai) and The FinLab aim to help these SMEs tap digital solutions to enhance their online marketing efforts and to streamline their business processes. This will enable them to reach more customers in Thailand and expand into new markets. 

 

The SMEs will attend a series of workshops on various topics conducted by industry experts from May to June 2019 to gain the know-how and to learn about the digital tools they can use for their business.

 

They will then be matched with The FinLab's curated list of solution providers to pilot solutions that are relevant to their individual businesses. Each SME will receive Bt1 million worth of value through the workshops, professional training, mentorship and publicity garnered from the programme.
