26th Metro Manila Business Conference
This year’s conference is hosted by the PCCI-NCR South Sector composed of the city chambers of Las Piňas, Makati, Muntinlupa, Paraňaque, Pasay and Taguig. Anchored on the theme “Enabling MSMEs through Sustainable Strategic Partnerships”, the conference highlights the important role that MSMEs play in creating jobs for the country’s growing labor force, in stimulating economic development and in serving as breeding grounds for new entrepreneurs. Despite policies that aim to provide an enabling environment for MSME development, the sector still faces various constraints that prevent it from realizing its full growth potential.
