The exhibition, organized by the SME Promotion Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was held at Lao-ITECC in Vientiane from February 25 to March 1, 2026. The annual event brings together small and medium-sized enterprises from across the country to showcase products, exchange experiences, and promote innovation.

Following a rigorous evaluation and selection process conducted by a government-appointed committee, Pinim Pro received awards in two categories. The “Sustainable MSME Excellence Award” was presented by Mr. Chanthaboun Souk A-loun, Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce, in recognition of the company’s role in generating positive social and economic impact.

The company also received the “Lao MSME Outstanding Entrepreneur Award 2026,” presented by Ms. Manyvone Vongxay, Director General of the SME Promotion Department. This award acknowledges excellence in strategic vision, financial management, digital transformation, and human resource development.

Pinim Pro’s Sustainable MSME Excellence Award reflects its successful organization of three flagship initiatives: the Jobs Fair, which has connected thousands of young people to employment opportunities; the Book Festival, launched in 2019 and attracting more than 100,000 visitors while expanding to Champasak and Xieng Khouang provinces; and the Youth Volunteer Programme, which provides students with free, hands-on experience in professional event management.

The dual recognition highlights the company’s growing role in strengthening Laos’ MSME sector while delivering meaningful community impact.
