00:00 The COVID-19 pandemic has made the digital transformation

00:03 more clear,

00:05 especially the SME business

00:06 that has to admit that it can't avoid this transformation.

00:11 And to prepare the Thai SMEs

00:14 to overcome this change without any hesitation,

00:18 today we will take you to explore

00:20 how to connect SMEs with innovation

00:23 to build sustainable business in ASEAN Connect.

00:26 [Music]

00:30 The Middle East and South-East Asia SMEs

00:34 are said to be worth 35.6% of GDP in Thailand

00:40 which is very high.

00:41 But it turns out that more than 3 million Thai SMEs

00:44 are used for research and innovation

00:47 with very low or less than 1% business transformation.

00:51 The Ministry of Industry and Trade

00:54 has said that there are 4 factors.

00:56 The first is lack of awareness.

00:58 The second is lack of capital.

01:01 The third is lack of various commercial channels.

01:04 The fourth is lack of both human resources,

01:06 both technology and digital tools in modern times.

01:09 While there is a survey

01:12 ASEAN SME Transformation Study 2022

01:15 of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment

01:16 said that 50% of Thai SMEs

01:19 want to change their business model

01:21 to more digital.

01:23 The storage of various documents

01:25 and the use of digital data

01:27 using cloud computing technology

01:29 will help reduce the use of resources.

01:32 On the other hand, using e-payment

01:34 makes money management more convenient

01:38 such as lending or asking for credit.

01:41 On the other hand, we will see

01:43 ERP accounting software

01:45 or tax service providers

01:47 that are more diverse.

01:49 For SMEs in logistics industries,

01:52 both storage of goods,

01:54 the cost of operating goods,

01:56 the cost of logistics,

01:58 and the cost of shipping goods

02:00 can be used to develop technologies

02:02 that can be used in business.

02:04 For example, Internet of Things or IoT

02:07 that connects the shipping system

02:09 to the Internet.

02:11 In the future, it can also be developed

02:13 into robot technology

02:15 including the driverless vehicle

02:17 to reduce the cost and the workload

02:20 and increase the efficiency of work.

02:23 And for blockchain technology,

02:25 there will be DLT or Distributed Ledger Technology

02:28 that can help collect data

02:30 and manage products

02:32 in many ways.

02:35 It will increase the transparency

02:37 between the shipping process

02:39 and prevent fraud

02:41 and reduce the time of repetitive operations.

02:45 PricewaterhouseCoopers or PricewaterhouseCoopers

02:48 is a world-class accounting company

02:50 that says that blockchain technology

02:52 will have a great impact on logistics industries

02:55 whether it's about increasing efficiency,

02:57 transparency, and repetitive operations.

03:00 At the same time,

03:02 it is a safe supply chain

03:04 that can check the source of goods

03:07 and increase the value

03:09 for logistics business.

03:11 Therefore, businesses should put

03:13 the foundation of blockchain technology seriously.

03:16 For SMEs,

03:18 although they want to build business efficiency

03:21 by increasing growth,

03:23 they have to limit the amount of investment.

03:27 This is a weakness that makes them

03:29 lose out to large companies

03:31 that have more budget,

03:33 less amount of research and development.

03:35 The idea of sustainability

03:37 also affects the work of SMEs.

03:40 We have to create sustainability

03:43 in the business sector

03:45 whether it's using digital tools

03:47 or technologies related to the environment.

03:50 This is also an increase in competitiveness

03:53 and increase the efficiency of business.

03:56 The UOB Bank of Thailand and The Finlabs

03:59 are the leading institutions

04:01 for innovation development under the UOB Bank.

04:04 They have always been aware of this problem.

04:06 Therefore, they have supported Thai SMEs

04:09 under the Smart Business Transformation project

04:11 since 2062.

04:14 The UOB Bank has already supported

04:16 Thai SMEs for more than 1,000 years.

04:19 For SMEs that want to use technology

04:22 in their business

04:24 to meet the needs of transformation

04:26 and competition from large companies,

04:28 having a common ground

04:30 is a way to help

04:32 SMEs find the right technology

04:35 to manage and train.

04:38 Experts are always welcome

04:40 to give advice and support

04:42 to SMEs.

04:44 This is how we can build a strong community

04:47 that can move forward

04:49 in the future with confidence.
