Go Negosyo coaching comes to Malabon

GO Negosyo 3M on Wheels free mobile entrepreneurship workshop was held at Robinsons Malabon on Saturday.

Go Negosyo founder Jose Ma. Concepcion III said the successful event was the result of collaboration between the Malabon City Government, local business organizations, event sponsors and the Department of Trade and Industry.

“We see that the effectiveness of helping MSMEs (micro, small and medium-sized enterprises) is higher when the government and the private sector work together. This is how we help our MSMEs,” he said.
