KUALA LUMPUR: UOB Malaysia and The FinLab have announced the fourth edition of the Jom Transform Program (JTP) which is set to empower women to transform their businesses through digital acceleration.

This year's programme, themed 'JTP: Womenpreneur Edition', aims to support women entrepreneurs through digital solutions that drive productivity, save costs and grow revenue.

The programme will be conducted virtually on The FinLab Online.

UOB Malaysia chief executive officer Ng Wei Wei said the parties see potential in supporting female-led businesses to thrive, particularly in e-commerce as women entrepreneurs make up only 20 per cent of Malaysian small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (SMEs).

"This is why the bank is creating an ecosystem through the Jom Transform Programme to connect women entrepreneurs to one another and open doors to opportunities.

"As the needs of businesses evolve in line with new market realities, we want to also provide them with the right tools to future proof their businesses in this digitalised world," she said.

The first cohort of the JTP: The Womenpreneur Edition will undergo a three-week business transformation curriculum through The FinLab Online starting June 28, 2022.

Apart from receiving the relevant knowledge, tools and skills to digitalise their businesses, participants will also be guided by subject matter experts and mentors from UOB and its regional ecosystem partners in the area of digital transformation.

They will also have access to online workshops, video tutorials and webinars in digital marketing, business operations and e-commerce.

To further accelerate their digitalisation efforts, participants will also enjoy complimentary subscriptions to JomX solution of choice including cloud accounting systems, artificial intelligence and data analytics, by a host of JTP ecosystem partners for up to 13 months.

Since the launch of JTP in 2019, the Programme has enabled more than 400 Malaysian SMEs to embark on their digitalisation journey.
