The programme was launched by Datuk Haji Ahmad Haji Maslan, Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI) at Lazada’s E-Commerce Seller Conference 2017. He  said, “With digitalisation disrupting businesses, SMEs’ adoption of technology has taken on an even greater urgency than ever before. As Malaysia continues its path towards becoming a fully digital economy, businesses here must continue their evolution to be a part of it. Thus, having e-commerce market leaders such as Lazada Malaysia to help SMEs continue their online growth, will greatly assist in realising the Government’s aim of doubling the e-commerce growth from 10.8% to 20.8% by 2020.”

Datuk Haji Ahmad Haji Maslan also mentioned that the #EveryoneCanSell Programme will be able to prepare SMEs with the right ecosystem to compete globally through the Digital Free Trade Zone which was recently launched this year.

Hans-Peter Ressel, Chief Executive Officer of Lazada Malaysia said, “We hope to boost SMEs’ capabilities when they capitalise on #EveryoneCanSell’s holistic digital ecosystem, so they remain competitive online. This programme will also be a great training ground for local businesses to upgrade themselves with the right tools and skills required for our upcoming campaign of the year in November, Online Revolution 2017.”
