platforms
2.1.1
Establish State and Region e-commerce hubs.
The hub will be a location where:
Businesses can access support in moving online
Local success stories can be publicized
Training in particular e-commerce skills can be
obtained.
E-commerce hubs will therefore comprise a team of ecommerce experts who can visit businesses in the Region
or State and who can provide training and support.
At least one e-commerce hub will be
established in each Region and State.
High
MoC
They will provide support to local
businesses, particularly, MSMEs.
Therefore, they will be instrumental
in promoting the adoption of ecommerce across Myanmar and
particularly
outside
larger
conurbations.
Given the size of Regions and States it is expected that
initial contact and regular on-going contact between the
hubs and registered businesses will be online through social
media, tele- and videoconferencing and a website.
