Innovation and big ideas at the APEC SME Summit
This year, we’ve partnered with the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) and Asia Society Philippines, led by Doris Magsaysay-Ho in hosting the 2015 APEC SME Summit on Nov. 17.
The SME Conference will feature speakers whose big ideas and innovative solutions have inspired positive changes in their industries and the world. The summit aims to challenge the traditional SME framework and mindset in order to motivate APEC entrepreneurs to re-think and recreate the way they do business, as well as to look at their products, services and business operations through the lens of innovation to successfully meet the demands of the 21st-century global market.
With the theme “Innovation and Big Ideas: Pushing Boundaries,” the APEC SME Summit 2015 will bring together the region’s micro-, small- and medium-sized business entrepreneurs to share success stories of SME innovation and internationalization, as well as to highlight institutional support mechanisms proven to drive innovation-based SME growth.
We have a good lineup of speakers from different countries who are founders and leaders in innovation (more about them in the photo captions). They will share how they utilized creativity and innovation to make transformative changes in addressing old and emerging market needs.
We invite all interested entrepreneurs to visit the official website at www.apecsmesummit2015.com and register. You can also call the APEC Secretariat at 631-5024, 633-2838 and 634-5604.
