AdminThe highly anticipated CTOS SME Biz Day 2025 is set to return bigger and better, embarking on a nationwide tour across Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Penang, and Kuching. Organised by CTOS Digital Berhad, this complimentary event aims to equip small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the knowledge, tools, and networks to unlock their full business potential under the theme “Future-Forward SMEs: Digitalise, Transform, Innovate.”
The first leg of the event will take place in Kuala Lumpur on 6 May 2025, at Nexus, Bangsar South, from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm. SMEs will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, gain insights into credit health management, financing solutions, and digital transformation, as well as discover actionable strategies to future-proof their businesses.
Erick Hamburger, Group CEO of CTOS Digital Berhad, underscored the significance of the event, stating, “CTOS is more than just a credit score provider – we are committed to empowering SMEs to unlock their full potential and expand their businesses both locally and globally. As a key player in the industry, we tap into our wealth of data and connections to empower businesses with better credit risk management. Our goal? We want to build a strong financial ecosystem for the nation by ensuring that SMEs have the tools and support they need to thrive in an ever-evolving market.”
Navigating change and staying ahead
With over 1.1 million SMEs making up 96.9% of businesses in Malaysia, the sector is the backbone of the economy. To help SMEs navigate a rapidly changing business landscape, Budget 2025 has placed a strong emphasis on digital adoption, offering financial incentives to support transformation efforts.
In response, CTOS SME Biz Day 2025 will focus on three critical areas to drive SME growth:
- Mastering e-Invoicing – SMEs will learn about best practices and compliance requirements for transitioning to e-invoicing, improving accuracy and efficiency in financial management.
- Leveraging Government Incentives – Experts will provide guidance on how businesses can maximise government policies and incentives to fuel their growth.
