Inspiring success stories emerge from 14th PhilSME Business Expo
THE 14th Philippine Small and Midsize Enterprise (PhilSME) Business Expo, organized by Mediacom Solutions Inc., concluded a successful two-day run at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City, bringing together 8,000 attendees.
Through the expo, small businesses and entrepreneurs were connected with industry experts, offered innovative solutions and connected to business prospects.
“It’s not every day that you get to have more than 120 exhibitors and over 180 business solutions come together under one roof to showcase what they offer for SMEs,” PhilSME Managing Director Trixie Esguerra-Abrenilla said.
Among the keynote speakers during the event were representatives from project management platform Odoo, which offered how to streamline and automate business operations. Financing solutions Security Bank spoke about financing solutions that empower SMEs through financial inclusion.
Toyota Financing addressed livelihood through accessible transportation mode while creative platform Canva empowered attendees by teaching them how to use artificial intelligence in their creative projects.
Esguerra-Abrenilla said these types of activities and the support given to SMEs go beyond the expo through the Philippine Business Network, a monthly gathering of Philippine business owners to get updated with new offers from different companies and an opportunity
to interact with other industry service providers.
As PhilSME looks ahead to future engagements, the organization remains steadfast in its commitment
to empower SMEs, startups and entrepreneurs through the next exhibit on November 22-23, 2024, the 15th edition of the SMX Convention Center Manila expo.
