Through its Micro and Small Business Funding (PUMK) program, PT Timah consistently provides guidance, financial support, mentoring, and training while actively promoting its fostered MSMEs to help them scale up.
Showcasing MSME products at exhibitions is a strategic step for the company to introduce its fostered businesses' flagship products to a wider market.
PT Timah actively involves MSMEs in various local, national, and international exhibitions. Through these exhibitions, MSME entrepreneurs can showcase their products, expand their business networks, and enhance their competitiveness in broader markets.
Currently, PT Timah is once again presenting its fostered MSME products at Southeast Asia’s largest handicraft exhibition, The Jakarta International Handicraft Trade Fair (Inacraft) 2025, held at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) from February 5-9, 2025.
At Inacraft 2025, PT Timah is promoting its fostered MSME products, including Sepiak batik and Ishadi Cual, at this prestigious annual event.
As a member of MIND ID’s Mining Industry Holding, PT Timah actively participates in various trade fairs organized by both the government and private sectors. This initiative allows fostered MSME products to reach a broader market segment, including potential export opportunities.
In 2024, PT Timah facilitated its fostered MSMEs' participation in 25 exhibitions across various regions.
"Exhibitions serve as an effective promotional platform for MSMEs. These events allow MSMEs to showcase their top products directly to potential buyers, both individuals and large business players. PT Timah provides various facilities for its fostered MSMEs, including exhibition booths, marketing skills training, and guidance on professional product presentation," said Anggi Siahaan, Head of PT Timah's Corporate Communication Department.
Anggi emphasized that PT Timah plays an active role in driving regional economic growth and improving community welfare. MSMEs' participation in exhibitions is not just a promotional effort but also a strategic step in strengthening their competitiveness in the global market.
"Through initiatives supporting MSMEs, PT Timah hopes to create a broader positive impact on the local business community while reinforcing its role in supporting national economic growth," Anggi concluded. (*)
