Lazada to provide online training to local SMEs
Lazada Group, a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, plans to provide training to 30,000 local small and medium-sized enterprises this year to raise their online capabilities. The development has come after Alibaba signed a letter of intent with the government to help it move towards the Thailand 4.0 economic model. Lazada will be responsible for providing training to local SMEs, as well as working closely with Thailand Post in order to jointly develop e-logistics systems to provide both domestic and cross-border e-commerce services, said Alessandro Piscini, chief executive of Lazada Thailand. Alibaba will also provide digital marketing training to 10,000 state officials.
