As the number of MSME industry players in Indonesia grows, this also influences the development of the MSME community in Indonesia. However, as MSMEs develop in Indonesia, the problems experienced by MSME actors in running their businesses also increase. There are also many needs that have not yet been structured and solutions have been achieved. Because in fact, if developed well, MSMEs can become pillars of the Indonesian people's economy.
Because of this background, a community was formed that brought together MSMEs and Entrepreneurship Professionals which we know today as “Friends of MSMEs”. This community was built on the principles of positive communication and mutual development. Friends of MSMEs can also be a means of conveying knowledge and a forum for interaction for business actors to contribute to each other, exchange ideas and share experiences in building and developing business networks.
Because of this, Qasir collaborated with Sahabat UMKM to hold a class to provide training to Sahabat UMKM members in managing a business using a point of sales system. We also invited one of the owners of PT. Kato Kuliner Indonesia to share about Branding and Marketing.
We hope that with this class, we can strengthen ties with fellow MSME players. Apart from that, we also hope that this community class can provide knowledge that can later be used by MSMEs to be able to compete in the global market.
