CelcomDigi has shared more details on its ongoing MY5G SME Digital Workshop tour with a stop in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, aiming to help local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) digitalize their businesses more effectively.
Now in its third year, the 2025 edition blended hands-on learning with on-ground engagement, creating a more impactful experience for participants under the theme “Scaling New Heights with Sabah SMEs.”
Supported by an extensive list of partners, including Bank Simpanan Nasional, Funding Societies Malaysia, MARA, MDEC, SME Bank, SME Corp Malaysia, TERAJU, TikTok Shop, and several Sabahan business associations, the workshop reflected CelcomDigi’s strong collaborative approach to nurturing local entrepreneurship.
This year’s program has introduced three new experiences, which are:
- Business Matching – Connects entrepreneurs to potential partners and collaborators
- Live Streaming by TikTok Shop – Offers practical guidance for creating and launching live content
- Arena Usahawan – One-stop hub linking SMEs to funding, grants, and ecosystem support
To further strengthen local engagement, CelcomDigi rolled out Skuad 5G SME Edition, conducting on-ground visits to Kota Kinabalu’s bustling business districts such as Sinsuran Central Market, Segama, and Gaya Street. These interactions provided deeper insights into the unique challenges and aspirations of Sabahan SMEs, allowing CelcomDigi to tailor its recommendations and support.
The event also featured Adam Shamil, a Sabahan digital creator and CEO of Chunk & Dunk, known for his viral “Get It Right” series celebrating local culture. Sharing his journey, Adam highlighted how creativity and community-driven storytelling, amplified through digital tools, can lead to real business success. His message encouraged local entrepreneurs to build content that reflects their regional identity while embracing digital growth.
Following the Sabah edition, the MY5G SME Digital Workshop will wrap up its nationwide tour in Kuching, Sarawak, where local entrepreneurs can look forward to another round of hands-on sessions and networking opportunities.
