About This Session
As AI becomes part of everyday business operations, leaders and business owners need more than awareness — they need practical frameworks to decide where, when, and how AI can be applied responsibly.
Held in collaboration with Preface Singapore, this AIM ASEAN session is designed for MSME owners, startup founders, business leaders, and decision-makers who want to build AI fluency and explore practical ways to adopt AI within their organisations.
The session will cover Modules 1 to 4 of the AIM ASEAN Programme in a single structured training, combining guided learning, practical business examples, and facilitated discussion.
Participants who complete the session and meet the programme requirements will receive an AIM ASEAN e-Certificate.
Why Join
AI is no longer just for big tech companies. Small businesses are already using AI to improve productivity, marketing, operations, customer engagement, and decision-making — without needing to hire data scientists or invest heavily in complex technology.
This session is designed to help business leaders understand AI from a practical and business-focused perspective. It is not a technical or coding course. Instead, participants will learn how to identify relevant AI use cases, evaluate adoption readiness, and apply AI responsibly in real business settings.
Who Should Attend
This session is suitable for:
• MSME owners and founders
• Startup and SME leaders
• Business development and operations leads
• Functional managers involved in workflow improvement
• Professionals who evaluate, approve, or implement new tools and processes
• Leaders exploring AI adoption for productivity, growth, and transformation
