SMITA Malaysia collaborates with 11Street to tap markets in Thailand

BANGKOK: The Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will be able to sell their products and services in Thailand now through the 11street ecommerce marketplace in the country.

The opportunities to penetrate the Thai market market were made possible through the collaboration between SME International Trade Association (SMITA Malaysia) and 11Street (Thailand) Co Ltd, the second largest e-commerce platform in the country.

SMITA is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that facilitates and nurtures SMEs to tap into the global arena.

Its Malaysia’s National President, Megane SC Soo, said Thailand has a vibrant consumer market of 70 million people.

“The collaboration with 11Street is one of many initiatives of SMITA to assist Malaysian SMEs export their products and services.

“This is in line with the government’s call for businesses to tap into the e-commerce industry,” Soo said after the signing of the collaboration agreement here recently.

Also present were Malaysian Ambassador to Thailand Datuk Jojie Samuel and Malaysia External Trade Development Corp’s Trade Counsellor in Thailand, Norman Dzulkarnain Mohd Nasri.

Soo said the collaboration with 11Street Thailand was part of SMITA’s vision to grow its members to be the leading global trading companies. — Bernama
