He says preparing these MSMEs for investment readiness is one of the goals of the FEE program.

According to Tonawai, the program has introduced two new aspects this year, which are ‘greening your businesses and ‘digitalizing your businesses’.

The FCEF says it is also pleasing to note that the FEE program will soon be established in the Western Division for the first time, with the selection process for the West cohort about to begin.

Tonawai adds that FCEF will continue to support MSMEs, moving them to greater heights in their corporate pursuits.
