"MSMEs have significantly contributed to the country's economy by creating jobs and opportunities at the grassroots level," said Carren Garcia, Acer Philippines Senior Commercial Sales Manager. "We believe, the best way we can support the growth and expansion of this sector and other industries is to introduce to them the benefits of technology transformation."
In the latest national statistics from the Department of Trade and Industry, Central Visayas has the fourth most number of MSMEs in the country with more than 50,000 enterprises. These provide jobs for more than 200,000 workers according to the Philippine Senate.
"Cebu has sustained its economic growth not just because of tourism, but also due to its immense capacity to incubate businesses driven by a creative and dynamic talent pool," said Garcia. Garcia said the TECHonomy Forum aims to support Cebu’s thriving economy by offering a value-adding thought leadership platform. Here, local businesses and stakeholders can exchange knowledge and ideas on the benefits of digital transformation and innovation.
With the looming adoption of automation and data sciences as an industry standard in the coming years, digital transformation has become an urgent necessity for businesses.
Acer Philippines underscored its commitment to help Cebu CEOs and entrepreneurs through TECHonomy in overcoming the challenges of innovation and technology adoption.
Hosted by Acer Philippines and Microsoft Philippines, the TECHonomy Forum 2017 is the first forum of its kind in the country that tackles the role of technology in economics.
