A gathering of entrepreneurs

THE ELEGANT BALLROOM OF MAR­co Polo Davao served as the official venue for Go Negosyo’s “Mentor Me Program,” a training program which aims to equip local entrepreneurs with the neces­sary skills sets, the right mindset, and busi­ness savvy to ultimately level up and sustain their businesses. The gathering was graced by the presence of President Duterte, who promoted business confidence and vowed to the 700 micro, small and medium entre­preneurs (MSMEs) in attendance, that he will find ways to source out funds for the government to bolster the economy. Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion also spearheaded the program and hand­ed over financial assistance to several en­trepreneurs who plan to expand their busi­nesses. “We are very blessed to be the

 chosen venue for this prestigious business event and see a lot of the country’s suc­cessful and growing entrepreneurs in one setting,” said Marco Polo Davao gen­eral manager Dot­tie Wurgler-Cronin. “We look forward to having more occa­sions of this kind in the future as it is an honor for us to serve the growing business community of Mind­anao.”
