T
he Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Ministry has launched a mobile application to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across the country get support and assistance from the government and to provide new platform for them to promote their products.
The app, called CIS SMESCO, is Android based and downloadable via Google Play or www.manajemen.cis-nasional.id, the ministry announced in a statement on Monday.
According to Eviyanti Nasution, a senior staff member for venture assistance at the ministry, the application is a program devised by the ministry’s integrated services for cooperatives and SMEs.
