Tokoin is Ready to Cooperate with Financial Institutions

In the first quarter of 2019, Tokoin started the year with public engagement activities, such as a meet-up, public discussion, and seminars, in which we met our potential users, partners, the government, and investors.

Particularly, we held both a soft and a grand launching in the first quarter. Tokoin’s very first agenda in 2019 was the soft launching in January. We were honored to have Gati Wibawaningsih, the General Director of Small, Medium, and Various Industry, from the Ministry of Industries of Indonesia. She opened the event with a message to all business people to support the 4th industrial revolution alongside the government.

Tokoin Soft Launching: January 2019

The successful soft launching was continued with a national roadshow to four big cities in Indonesia. The National Roadshow aims to directly get in touch with various industries that constitute a specialization in each city, such as tourism industry in Bali, trading industry in Medan and Surabaya, and creative industry in Bandung and Yogyakarta. The 2019 National Roadshow was the second after the 2018 National Roadshow, in which Reiner Rahardja, the CEO of Tokoin, introduced Tokoin to the national industries.

Last but not least, the grand launching of Tokoin, which was also a great success, was held on February 27, 2019 in Jakarta. With so much interest in the event attendance, the grand launching remained our starting point in 2019 as a business unit. We also had the opportunity to sign MOU agreements with several partners in the grand launching event, for example, Pasar Polis, Sahabat UMKM, and Shuttle One. These partners will act as our data users on Tokoin’s platform, at the same time putting value to the data itself.

The more trusted it is, the more it becomes valuable.

Looking ahead, Tokoin will continue executing its list of agenda for 2019. Next up is a global roadshow in March, with the first leg being in Hong Kong on March 13, 2019, followed by Singapore, Vietnam, and Korea.

At present, access to finance is identified as the most critical barrier that limits the growth of MSMEs. Providing financial opportunities to MSMEs is very important in advancing holistic economic development and reducing poverty in emerging markets. With Indonesia’s GDP growing at a stable level , MSMEs will play an even more important role in their economy in the near future. By bridging the gap between MSMEs and the financial sector, Tokoinhopes to develop sustainable ecosystems for MSMEs to thrive and prosper.
