Anchored on the theme “Asenso Negosyo, Angat Kabuhayan: Bagong Pilipinas!” the 2025 National MSME Development Week aims to boost the capabilities of MSMEs in adapting to new market demands, digitalization, and post-pandemic business challenges. DTI-6 director Rachel Nufable emphasized the role of small businesses in sustaining growth and lifting communities out of poverty. “This is a call to action to strengthen our local enterprises, because when MSMEs thrive, communities rise with them,” Nufable said. The campaign features simultaneous activities across all six provinces and two highly urbanized cities of the region, with each DTI provincial office rolling out capacity-building programs, trade fairs, product innovation workshops, financial literacy seminars, and digital transformation training sessions from July 7 to 13.
