SHAH ALAM - Maxis Business launches its first nationwide UsahaWira roadshow with complete networking sessions and a new series of stories to connect more businesses with hero entrepreneurs.

"The initiative is part of the immensely popular UsahaWIRA programme that was launched back in 2021, with a focus on leveraging the SME Digitalisation Grant by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC).

"We believe it is important for businesses to understand that digitalisation does not need to cost a lot, and that they can’t afford to be left behind digitally.

"This is not just another programme, but a great opportunity for SMEs to be inspired by the journeys of their fellow entrepreneurs, and lessons learnt.

"At Maxis, we have helped more than 25,000 SMEs through the SME Digitalisation Grant and we hope to encourage more to come on board so that we can guide them at every step of the way,” he said.
