Event Details

Although running a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) can be an exhilarating and fulfilling journey, many SMEs experience lack of resources and expertise to overcome challenges they face on a day-to-day basis. However, a key factor that drives the success of SMEs is their ability to rapidly adapt and incorporate new innovations and processes.


Join AmCham and our panel of experts as we tackle common SME challenges and explore potential innovations and resources, such as:

  • Financing: Learn critical basics like opening a business bank account and tax considerations. Explore financing options such as traditional loans, venture capital, and grants that fits your business needs. Learn how to optimize collections and manage payments effectively.
  • Marketing: Craft a winning marketing plan that fits within your budget. Discover how to effectively reach your target audience through digital strategies like social media, email marketing, and content creation while leveraging emerging technology like generative AI.
  • Productivity: Streamline your processes, optimize your team's productivity, and free up valuable time to focus on what matters most – growing your business. Explore time-saving tools and technologies like project management software, communication platforms, and other AI tools to streamline your workflow;
  • Talent: Attract and retain top talent in a competitive market by learning how to craft creative job descriptions (JDs) that showcase the value proposition of working for an SME. This may include opportunities for better hands-on training, greater ownership of projects, and a more dynamic work environment compared to larger corporations. Draft attractive employee benefits packages that go beyond salary, catering to the needs and aspirations of today's workforce, particularly fresh graduates; and
  • Vendor Onboarding: Establish smooth and efficient vendor relationships by developing a clear onboarding process that sets expectations, establishes communication channels, and defines key performance indicators.
