AI Training for Businesses - AIM ASEAN (Module 3)

AI is no longer just for big tech companies. It is already helping small businesses increase productivity, improve marketing, streamline operations, and make better decisions — without hiring data scientists or spending heavily on tools.

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 businesses.

This is not a technical course.
It is a practical business programme focused on real use cases and immediate application.

NOTE: THE DATES IN EVENTBRITE ARE FOR MODULE 3'S PHYSICAL TRAINING. OTHER MODULES CAN BE COMPLETED ONLINE.
