Tang Tua Dai Fund helps SMEs

The government's Tang Tua Dai (self-sustaining) Fund will benefit small and medium enterprises and strengthen the country's economy, says Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

Speaking on her weekly TV programme on Saturday, Ms Yingluck said the project had received cooperation from three parties: universities at which incubation centres would help students with research and development as well as business plan development; university alumni to help provide coaching; and financial institutions to help screen the projects.

The new fund launched last Wednesday aims to support students who have graduated from universities or vocational schools over the past five years to own businesses in 10 fields.

    Targeting students graduating with no work or business experience is misdirected.
