Support for local business owners
🎉 A jovial affair took place at the Quest Hotel in Cebu City, marking the MOA signing and workshop organized by ASKI (Care for the Welfare, Inc.) in partnership with Coca-Cola Philippines. This event marked the official launch of a new venture within the iSTAR Center for Entrepreneurship, aiming to energize Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly women-led businesses.
Many partner organizations attended the event, showcasing their various support services for the cause. Notable mentions include the Lamac Multi-Purpose Cooperative (LMPC), Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation (NWTF), and others.
The MOA signing and workshop focused on digital upskilling, access to resources, and business coaching to empower MSMEs to thrive and navigate the modern business landscape more effectively. The program was named "Scaling Sustainability Mechanism of Support for MSMEs."

At the core of the LMPC's involvement lies a significant role, and they have shared their commitments to create an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative environment for entrepreneurs through stronger cooperation in the women's and micro-entrepreneur sectors.
This gathering represented a sign of unity among private and cooperative sectors, aiming to boost the economy and provide sustainable growth opportunities for Filipino entrepreneurs dedicated to building successful businesses.

Collaborative efforts like these are increasingly common worldwide, as governments and organizations work together to support MSMEs through digital platforms, training programs, and sustainability initiatives. For instance, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the Philippines has implemented the Green Economic Development (GED) Programme to help MSMEs become more competitive by adopting climate-smart and eco-friendly practices[2]. Additionally, local governments and organizations frequently join forces to bolster the MSME sector through digital transformation and environmental sustainability initiatives[1][3]. If you require detailed information about a specific initiative, it's best to reach out to local organizations or event organizers directly.
