Be part of the MSME Fiesta Sulong Negosyante event from June 27-30 at Resorts World Manila
The International Council for Small Business Philippines (ICSB PH)
and Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) will be holding a three-day
conference and expo for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) for free
this coming June 27 to 30 at Resorts World Manila in Pasay City.
Titled "MSME Fiesta Sulong Negosyante," the event is part
of ICSB and UnionBank's celebrations for United Nations' International MSME
Day, which is observed annually every 27th of June to raise awareness of the
contributions of MSMEs to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development
Goals.
During the three-day event, a number of activities will be held with
the goal of helping MSMEs in every aspect of their business. There will be
mentoring and coaching to be led by industry experts; opportunities to secure
funding from some of the leading financing companies in the country; and
learning sessions focused on a wide selection of topics including access to
loans, eCommerce platforms, payment gateways, digital creatives, opening of
bank accounts, logistics and supply chain, and government compliance.
"What's in it for the MSMEs? We could say we can do these
things online, but then again, it's better for them to see new partners
face-to-face and learn new ideas from experts," said ICSB Founder Eric
Caeg.
"Left and right, so many webinars for MSMEs are happening simultaneously every weekend. I think it's time that we go beyond that," said UnionBank's SME and Micropreneurs Segment Head Jaypee Soliman. "What we want to do is to move forward, which is why the name of the event is Sulong! Negosyante. Now, we won't just be doing talks, but this time we'll be doubling down on enabling our MSMEs through the activities that we've prepared for everyone."
Several participating brands will be raffling away a number of
exciting prizes to make the event even more exciting. SunLife Philippines, for
example, will be giving away P50,000 worth of insurance policies to 300 lucky
attendees, while Mr. Freeze Purified Tube Ice will be giving away Yelo Negosyo
packages, just to name a few.
To make travel to the event site easier, Grab Philippines will be
offering a voucher for its users, where they can enjoy P100 off on their fare
with promo code UBMSME2022. Those traveling to the event via their own vehicles
will also get the chance to take home gas vouchers.
