Initially, Globe, through Globe Business, the company’s enterprise, corporate and SME unit, joined forces with the DTI’s Bureau of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (DTI-BSMED) for the 2011 SME Summit.
The 2011 SME Summit was the highlight of the 2011 SME Week, spearheaded by the DTI and the MSMED Council, which ran until July 9.
Through the partnership, DTI regional and field offices, local government units, entrepreneurs and the general public across the country were able to watch the summit live via the Web (http://justin.tv/smesummit) with the use of Globe broadband.
Participants in the summit were also able to interact via Web conference with entrepreneurs who attended the Globe Negostar forum in Cauayan City, Isabela, held simultaneously with the 2011 SME Summit.
During the summit, government presented the 2011-2016 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Plan, which contains action plans that foster a more enabling business environment, give increased access to affordable financing and expanded markets, and improves productivity and efficiency.
“We at Globe Business are one with the DTI in our desire to help entrepreneurs grow by helping make their businesses more efficient. The SME sector is the workhorse of our country’s economy, hence it augurs well for everyone to support the growth of small and medium-scale enterprises,” said Manny Aligada, Globe Business head for the corporate and SME segment.
