Joint entrepreneurship dev't project set up
A JOINT project aimed to promote entrepreneurship development will be launched tomorrow, 8 a.m., at the Central Philippine University's Dr. Alfonso Uy Student Union Bldg. in Jaro, Iloilo City.
Dubbed "Sustainable Partnership for Energizing Entrepreneurship Development (Speed)," the project is a partnership between the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Alliance of Philippine Partners in Enterprise Development Inc. (Append) and Central Philippine University (CPU).
The project aims "to provide technology and financial assistance to micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (mSMEs) and at the same time help them gain access to markets through the Internet."
Mary O' Penetrante, Speed project coordinator-CPU, said, "We realize that access to technology, credit and markets will help spur economic activity in our area, facilitate countryside development and generate employment."
National and local officials from key-partner institutions have been invited to talk about the project. An open forum will follow.
After the program, the Speed Business Assistance Center for mSMEs will be inaugurated.
Free Internet access and business consultation will be provided during the day.
