​About This Programme

​AI is no longer just for big tech companies. Today, small businesses are already using AI to improve productivity, marketing, operations, and decision-making - without hiring data scientists or investing heavily in technology.

​The AIM ASEAN Programme (AI for MSME Advancement in ASEAN) is a fully sponsored regional initiative designed specifically for startups, SMEs, and small business owners who want to understand, adopt, and apply AI responsibly in their organisations.

​This is not a technical or coding course. It is a practical, business-focused programme built around real use cases and immediate application.

​Across 4 short, focused modules, participants will learn:

• How AI can be applied across marketing, operations, finance, HR, and customer engagement
• How to identify relevant AI use cases (not hype-driven tools)
• How to begin an AI adoption journey safely and realistically
