SME Corp has set the target sales potential of RM20 million, including through business matches, in conjunction with the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Week which takes place nationwide from June 10 to July 4, 2022.
“The target set is twice as much as the RM9.7 million recorded during the MSME Week held online last year,” Rizal Nainy, CEO of SME Corp said.
“The increased target was relevant as this year’s MSME Week is being held face-to-face with a business matching programme with supermarkets such as Aeon Big, Mydin, Sabasun and Giant.
“Last year, more than 75 activities were implemented during SME Week 2021 such as e-exhibitions, product sales, business, matching activities and knowledge sharing sessions through webinars, talks and ‘pocket talks’.”
“All these activities are implemented online through the MyAssist MSME platform. Therefore, we are confident that the RM20 million target can be achieved because it is carried out through a face-to-face and online sales process,” he said after launching the MSME Week 2022 Terengganu, here, today.
The event was officiated by Terengganu Entrepreneourship, Human Resources, Micro Industry and Consumer Affairs Committee Chairman Mohd Nurkhuzaini Ab Rahman.
A total of 183 entrepreneurship programmes and visitor attraction activities had been planned throughout the country during MSME Week 2022 involving various ministries, agencies, state goverments, goverment-linked companies, supermarkets, associations and chambers of commerce, schools, institutions of higher learning and financial institutions.
Among the activities during the MSME Week are sales carnivals, advisory service counters, business brieifings, sharing of entrepreneurs success notes, business matching sessions, motivational and religious talks as well as product demonstrations.
