The training focused on equipping participants with practical tools to innovate and align their business models with long-term growth strategies.

Dr. Jalaloden B. Marohom, Project Leader, served as the resource speaker, alongside with Mr. Kim Bryan A. Abellanosa, Project Manager, and Engr. Chloee Faith O. Teves, Project Technical Assistant in Marketing of USMart TBI. Dr. Marohom shared practical insights on value proposition, business model, strategic planning, and performance evaluation—building on the participants’ prior experience from the Kapatid Mentor ME (KMME) program. His session emphasized the importance of adaptive business modeling in the face of evolving market demands.

Participants engaged actively throughout the training and expressed appreciation for the knowledge gained, particularly in aligning their business goals with market realities and sustainability principles.

This initiative is part of a broader commitment by USMart TBI, LEDIPO, and DTI to foster innovation, build entrepreneurial capacity, and support the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the region.

As local producers continue to play a crucial role in regional development, programs like these highlight the importance of collaborative efforts in creating resilient and growth-oriented businesses.
