For the first time ever happen in Penang, an exclusive event by Facebook Business, MATRADE and AVANA surprisingly really happen in 6 stars hotel – Eastern & Oriental at Lebuh Farquhar, George Town, Penang. The title of the program is known as “Made by Malaysia, Loved by the World” which teach about how to expand local business owner throughout the world.

A demonstration of how the AVANA system integrates with Facebook for the business owner to take advantage of niche marketing. Meanwhile, MATRADE provides an open opportunity for the business owner to take grant if they are successfully selected by them. The training session gives a general idea of how exporting abroad works from Malaysia to other countries. There are at least hundreds of participants turn up to join this training session. I met some familiar faces from eUsahawan Certified Trainers in the Northern Region as well as our past eUsahawan class students who attended this session.
