CCCI x CBM Empowers Entrepreneurs with 3-Day Summit

Various business sectors attended the three-day Entrepreneurship Summit held from August 30

– September 1, 2023, at 38 Park Avenue Showroom, IT Park, Cebu.

The summit is an integral part of the 2023 Cebu Business Months celebration, which aims to

equip businesses with the latest tools and insights in the ever-evolving market landscape.

Crucial matters for discussion revolved around food sustainability and security, mentorship and

innovation, business futureproofing, and mental health.

The dynamic three-day summit brought together visionaries, industry leaders, and

entrepreneurs from various sectors, providing them with a platform for knowledge sharing and

growth. The industry luminaries generously shared their insights, challenges, and opportunities

inherent to their sectors. Through knowledge sharing, they paved the way for others to learn,

adapt, and thrive in the ever-dynamic business landscape.

With the challenges and opportunities that come with business, it remains imperative to

continuously adapt to the market needs to ensure sustainable production.

One of the crucial topics discussed was the challenges on food security. Although Central

Visayas is the fourth largest economy in the country, food security and sustainability have been

ongoing challenges. This is particularly evident as Cebu has become a service-driven economy

with less production in Agriculture compared to other neighboring regions.

To make agribusiness sustainable, the importance of collaboration with public sectors was

emphasized. Representatives from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of

Science and Technology (DOST), and Department of Agriculture (DA), highlighted the potential

for government assistance and partnerships.

Moreover, entrepreneurs were introduced to various platforms for possible solutions, especially

in digitization for the ease of doing business. The summit provided a platform for sharing of

experiences and fostering resilience in the face of change.

As business is also about having a dynamic workforce, the summit also tackled the importance

of mental health in the workplace. Attendees gained insights into the significance of investing in

mental health initiatives to ensure employee well-being and productivity.

CCCI hosts its annual flagship project, the CBM, with the aim of inspiring, promoting, and

fostering the growth of Cebu businesses, making them more vibrant and dynamic.
