Our Go Negosyo forums/expos feature successful entrepreneurs as they share their business learnings and experiences. We also recognize the respected and accomplished local entrepreneurs through our Go Negosyo Most Inspiring Entrepreneurs and Outstanding Business-Support Organizations Award.
Inspiring Nominees embody the traits of sipag at tiyaga, are
those who originated from the Caravan cities, and are generally well-respected
in their area. Nominees may or may not have come from humble beginnings: what
is important is that they were able to expand and grow their business and
overcome obstacles in order to be the successful entrepreneurs that they are
today. Business Support Organizations, on the other hand, are the commendable
and recognized institutions who have constantly supported and assisted local
entrepreneurs, and contributed towards the upliftment of their kababayan's
lives.
