Business of all sizes is really affected by the pandemic. Needless to say, it has literally stopped the world, and the adverse effect is the fact that many lives are affected — lost jobs, companies shutdown and financial woes continue to be a major problem. Hence, everyone is groping in the dark how to survive this time of uncertainty.
For the surviving micro, small, and medium (MSM) enterprises, they are still finding out how to deal with the new normal, and it seems that those who have more resources look like would be the survivors.
Given the current situation, the ones who will thrive in the business now and in every post-COVID discussion tends to look at the quick fix solution of embracing the digitalization.
But the question is: how do you actually digitize, pivot, and future-proof? Who can you approach to answer all your questions – and actually bridge the gap between bouncing back in theory, and doing it especially for small businesses?
The entrepreneurs are struggling to navigate during these challenging times. It’s crucial to invest in the right resources with a concrete fool-proof way forward so that we can survive and eventually thrive.
Globe myBusiness Academy invites you to CONNECT, an online business matching event that helps MSMEs to recover in the new normal. Through this event, you can connect to investors, enablers, suppliers, and even potential customers.
Together with partners from different industries, CONNECT is a platform that creates networking opportunities that will help MSMEs bridge the gap between idea and action. By design, the event shall provide key insights from industry leaders in terms of the standards that every business should take into consideration.
