SBF-SRA SMEs Go Digital: Industry Forum for Retail Industry

The Covid-19 pandemic has indelibly changed the way retailers operate. Gone are the days when retailers could derive the majority of sales revenue from ‘brick-and-motar’ stores. To remain relevant and stay ahead of the competition, retailers are urged to ride on the digital wave and adopt digital solutions that allow them to market their products and services and transact online.

Join us at this forum to learn about the Retail Industry Transformation Map, Industry Digital Plan, the digital solutions and training programmes that you can leverage to capitalise on e-commerce platforms. In addition, hear the inspiring stories of SMEs that have transformed their business models using digital solutions.
