What is SAMENTA?
Penang based SMEs can now apply for the state government incentive.
In light of the proposal to YAB Chow Kon Yeow, the State government has approved a one-off grant to a thousand SME businesses, giving out RM 1,000 each to help finance the effort of digitalising their operations when they join a Business-to-Business (B2B) platform.
