Eligible applicants include juristic community enterprises, community enterprises registered with the Department of Agricultural Extension, OTOP groups registered with the Community Development Department, and juristic OTOP entrepreneurs. The eligible sectors focus on fashion and lifestyle, ceramics, and other industries such as utensils, souvenirs, decorative items, and non-food herbal products.
Selected participants will receive intensive, in-depth coaching from experts in product design, development, and AI-driven marketing using advanced tools. The program also covers inventory management, sales forecasting, and the creation of new product prototypes. The activities will take place from July to September 2026.
