We are helping SMEs in two ways.

First, we are helping them to have a strategic plan to invest in digital technology. Also, we have a loan with a zero interest rate to help them to invest in the technology they need to do it. These are the two ways we are helping SMEs.

We're not the only ones providing support or advice for their strategic planning, but we can do it, and we are also providing financing.
