Good afternoon, everyone,
A very warm welcome to all of you and it is a privilege to have you join us today for Dewan Connect: Nusantara Edition, an event designed to encourage collaboration, insights, and opportunities for businesses seeking to grow beyond our borders.
The Nusantara region encompassing Indonesia, Malaysia, and beyond is brimming with potential. It presents opportunities not just for trade, but for partnerships, innovation, and knowledge exchange. For our SMEs, understanding these markets and building meaningful relationships is key to long-term growth.
At SMCCI, we believe in connecting our members to the right networks, insights, and resources. Events like Dewan Connect are more than just a networking session, they are platforms where ideas meet action, where challenges are transformed into opportunities, and where cross-border collaborations can take root.
Today, we are privileged to have with us a distinguished panel of experts who will share their real-world experiences and strategies on regional business growth:
- Abdul Latip from HSG Global, on scaling businesses regionally
- Adil Kasim from SME Centre @ SMCCI, on preparing SMEs for internationalisation
- Azad Ahmad from Maybank Singapore, on unlocking financial gateways for expansion
Guiding our discussion today is Shamir Wahid, a leader who brings clarity, strategy, and insight to high-stakes business decisions. I encourage everyone here to actively engage, ask questions, and connect with our panelists and fellow participants. On behalf of SMCCI, I extend my huge thanks to all of you for joining us today.
Thank you, and enjoy the session.
