Tokoin’s Advisor
Tiago Costa Alves as Tokoin’s Advisor: How Alves’s Crucial Skill Set Will Help Tokoin Grow
Tiago Alves joined Tokoin’s advisory board in the very early days of the project’s life. What are the skills that make Tiago the perfect advisor for Tokoin?
The modern business world is full of small challenges and unexpected obstacles that boost companies’ savviness and help them to grow and develop. These problems that can be relatively easy to solve are the kind of issues that companies go about on a daily basis. Usually, these small hiccups do not bring any significant damage to them.
However, there are some lingering issues in the global business industry that require special attention. We talk about challenges that have been around for dozens of years yet never received enough consideration from the public and the government. While large corporations are able to deal with the problems of a bigger size, those that are still growing, medium and small enterprises, are quite vulnerable when it comes to serious difficulties.
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Today: Solution for Lingering Issues
Specifically, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the ones that experience the harsh reality of the business world in the most painful way. MSMEs in emerging markets are facing limited access to valuable information about markets they operate in, as well as they struggle to have access to the necessary capital to grow and develop. These challenges are also accompanied by the growing competition from larger companies, making it hard for the MSME sector to steadily grow.
The situation around the MSME sector has been around for many years and Tokoin has appeared as one of the players in the crypto space that came forward to help growing companies. Tokoin was born to create the so-needed environment for MSMEs to be able to overcome the above-mentioned obstacles.
The unique idea suggested by Tokoin has its foundation in the blockchain-powered platform that enables firms to set up their digital business identity, establish their authority and expand their partnership network via sharing information. Through these opportunities, MSMEs are able to get the necessary resources, thanks to the digital identity they establish and can keep up with the competition by getting access to the capital and shared valuable information.
What Alves Brings as Tokoin’s Valuable Advisor
Since its creation, Tokoin project has gained a lot of followers and attention, not only in the crypto community, but on a global scale. At the same time, Tokoin has been able to attract a lot of great minds to its team of advisors, thus strengthening and diversifying its knowledge and expertise profile. One of the great advisors on the Tokoin advisory board, Tiago Alves, joined Tokoin’s side in the early days of the project.
