PETALING JAYA: CelcomDigi Bhd rolled out another successful edition of the MY5G SME Digital Workshop for small and medium enterprises in the Northern region.
Currently in its fourth year, the programme, held in 14 locations across Malaysia, has positively impacted more than 3,000 local entrepreneurs.
At the heart of the programme is CelcomDigi’s commitment to empowering local SMEs with practical digital skills and access to tools crucial for growth in the digital economy. Newer formats have been introduced this year to further support SMEs in their various business lifecycles.
For early-stage businesses, modules focus on building a good digital presence, while established enterprises are exposed to various technology solutions easily adapted to daily operations.
The Northern leg of the programme in Penang last week drew participation from more than 300 SMEs. Along with CelcomDigi, programme partners include Funding Societies Malaysia, Swipey, CTOS Data Systems, CardUp, Majlis Amanah Rakyat, Small Medium Enterprise Development Bank Malaysia, Bank Pembangunan Malaysia, SME Corporation Malaysia, Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia, Digital Penang, Onsmo Lighting Malaysia, and TikTok Shop Malaysia.
CelcomDigi chief enterprise business officer T Kugan said, “SMEs do not need digitalisation to be complicated. They need solutions that address challenges such as reaching new customers, managing cash flow, creating content or finding the right partners to grow.
“That is why our workshops are focused on providing practical knowledge, open access to industry experts and hands-on learning on how technology can transform business for the better.”
He added, “Our on-ground engagements are equally important because they bring conversations directly to business owners. This is important in helping us make digitalisation more relevant, accessible and actionable for Malaysian SMEs.”
