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.
