Guimaras MSMEs join women entrepreneur forum

As part of the government’s focus in empowering women entrepreneurs, as well as in celebration of the National Women’s Month, three MSMEs from the province of Guimaras participated in an activity for Women Entrepreneurs on March 28, 2017 at Casa Real, Iloilo City.

Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Regional Office 6, the Google Business Group (GBG), the Local Economic Investment Promotion Office (LEIPO) – Iloilo, and the QBO Innovation Hub, this activity aims to provide women with the tools needed to support their business through digital marketing, gender sensitivity, and inspirational talks from notable women entrepreneurs.

The MSMEs from Guimaras that participated in the activity are McNester Food Products, G & G Foods and Guimaras Wonders Farm. These are enrollees under the DTI’s Great Women Project (GWP). The GWP, now in its second round, aims to support women entrepreneurs through intervention programs tailored to their specific needs. (Marlon Julius Mata/ DTI Guimaras)
