ASEAN SOAR Together is Calling for Applications!
The ASEAN Foundation, in collaboration with TikTok Shop, launches the ASEAN SOAR (Supporting Our Artisans and Retailers) Together program. This initiative aims to empower 50 selected Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across ASEAN by providing tailored support in digital business that enables them to thrive and stand out in the global economy.
This is your opportunity to gain free access to exclusive capacity-building training designed to help you grow, adapt, and scale your business across the ASEAN region.
BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAMME
Selected participants will receive training on digital business skills and TikTok Shop. The programme combines essential business fundamentals with platform-specific strategies to equip selected MSMEs with the knowledge to enhance their online presence, master e-commerce skills, engage customers effectively, and accelerate sales growth.
Selected participants will learn directly from TikTok Shop professionals who provide insights into e-commerce strategies, branding, content creation, and financial management to strengthen their business operations.
Selected participants will take part in interactive training sessions that provide a hands-on platform to apply their skills in optimising TikTok Shop and TikTok Live operations. They will gain insights into effective live selling strategies and leverage influencer/affiliate marketing to boost sales.
Selected participants will gain insights into TikTok Shop’s policies and common violations to help them navigate platform regulations and mitigate potential risks. This knowledge will support participants in maintaining a compliant and trustworthy online presence that allow sustainable business growth.
After completing the capacity building phase, participants are required to take part in a Business Challenge to apply what they learned from the training. Top performers will be awarded up to USD 1,000 of advertising/promotional coupons and potentially be selected to participate in the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2025. The Business Challenge will allow them to test and refine their strategies in a real-world setting.
Top performing MSMEs will have the chance to showcase their businesses at the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2025 (ASEAN-BIS 2025) and gain exposure among ASEAN policymakers, global leaders, investors, and key stakeholders.
Selected participants will gain access to a platform where MSMEs can connect, collaborate, and share experiences with like-minded entrepreneurs across the region.
