Innovative concepts, events set CBM 2019 apart

TRUE to its theme “Innovation in Action,” this year’s Cebu Business Month (CBM) celebration offers at least four innovative ideas and activities that set it apart from past events.

The reverse pitching session, launching of a B2B (business-to-business) inclusive growth app, fresh concepts at the Innovation Expo, and a call to action for the tourism sector are some of the activities and features that are being introduced this year, said CBM chairperson Lilu Aliño.

The reverse pitching session will be part of the Entrepreneurs’ Summit, which will be held on June 12 to 14, 2019 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

Instead of technology startups making a presentation about their products or services to attract potential investors, members of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) will present to the startups the challenges that they are facing.

Aliño said they will also be presenting growth opportunities and their investment priorities, from which startups may generate ideas for new technology solutions and services.

This will be an opportunity for startups to address specific concerns of the business community and take advantage of growth opportunities, she said.

The reverse pitching session is one of the breakout sessions during the Entrepreneurs’ Summit.

Aliño said the chamber is also set to launch a B2B inclusive growth app to facilitate members’ digital transformation.

“Members of the chamber are seen to benefit from this B2B experience,” she added.

At the Innovation Expo, which will take place alongside the Entrepreneurs’ Summit on June 12 to 14, Aliño said millennials are spearheading the activity and injecting new concepts to bring different generations together.

Another event is the Tourism Innovation Forum, which will be held on June 18. It will attempt to address sustainability and responsible tourism issues. (MVI of SunStar Philippines)
