ASEAN Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), conducted by the ASEAN-USAID IGNITE project in November 2022, indicated business operations as the second most pressing challenge. Examples of challenges included: developing new business/services, creating new business strategies, diving into online marketing and sales, developing employees’ skills, and automating business operations. In this Future-proof Your Business course, ASEAN MSMEs will be supported in harnessing the power of social media and other digital tools.

Sustainability in business operations and managing disruptions in daily activities, affected by climate change and other global dynamics, will provide fundamental competencies for ASEAN MSMEs to embrace the future. In order to future-proof businesses, ASEAN MSMEs need to adapt to the trends in a highly changing environment.
