This year May 11-13, 2012 Approx 18,000 people (aspiring-existing entrepreneur) are expected to join this years 3day Philippine Small Medium Enterprise and Franchise Expo. At PICC or Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City, Philippines. The event is on its 4th year already organized by Trade Advertising Exhibitions and Conventions International (TradeCon). This will serve as bridging gap between businesses in various industry. That will benefit both parties in both local and international market arena. I like to attend this yearly expo because it burns out the entrepreneurial spirit under my skin.
Because, SME's plays the big role on our economic development because it generates employment. It enchance entrepreneurial spirit for economic growth and lessens crime because people are busy. Agree with me? Also links-bridge us to existing industry leaders inside and outside the country. In 2009 SME's were about 99.6% out of 80k registered businesses in the Philippines according to DTI. In which 63% of labor came from SME's which is the pillars of our taxation. Aside from that it gives also the opportunity for everybody who will attend the expo to exchange idea. Or potential tied up or merging and even partnership. Like what happen recently to Instagram and Facebook or our very own local Jolibee and Mang Inasal successful alliance.
