The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) is set to officially launch on Friday, April 26, its annual flagship project, the Cebu Business Month.
This year, the activities will focus on the theme: “Innovation in Action.”
The Chamber’s Cebu Business Month team, spearheaded by Lilu Aliño, emphasizes the importance of innovation in all aspects of business in this digital age.
Aliño said CBM 2019 aims to empower micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through innovations that bring real benefits, drive growth and improve business productivity and competitiveness.
She extended an invitation to entrepreneurs in the information and communications technology - business process management (ICT-BPM), tourism and other sectors to take part in the activities.
“Take advantage of CBM 2019 curated events and activities, exciting exhibitions, pitching sessions, and conferences with power speakers this coming May 31 to June 30, 2019 at strategic venues,” Aliño said.
CCCI president Virgilio G. Espeleta, for his part, said business would have to be agile and innovative in addressing or coping with disruptions.
The only way to do this is to leverage on technology and other game-changing innovations especially in building internal capabilities, keeping pace with changing market behaviors, and using faster and cost-effective marketing and financial instruments.
“Let’s experience and get into action as we provide every participant opportunities to adopt innovative ways of doing business,” Espeleta said.
“As we launch our 2019 CBM, let this be an opportunity to synergize, converge and collaborate in ‘Connecting Opportunities. Growing Businesses. Creating Value. For inclusive growth, collective prosperity and global competitiveness’,” he added.
