LAOAG CITY -- The

of La Tabacalera Building last Dec. 15.
The provincial government collaborated with the Departments of Science and Technology (DOST), Trade and Industry (DTI), Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
Present during the launching were institutional partners: DOST provincial director engineer Benjamin Mercado, DICT regional director engineer Rey Parnacio and Amelia Galvez, DTI OIC provincial director. Academe partners present were Dr. Nathaniel Alimbuyog of MMSU, Dr. Luis Sison of the University of the Philippines (UP), and Dr. Socorro Galanto of TESDA.
The MSME Incubation Center aims to help the government of Ilocos Norte's vision and focus of expanding the MSME sector.
It also strives to showcase products of the province's homegrown enterprises.
“We know that there is already niche of people na talagang may entrepreneurs na tayo dito. There is no doubt about it. And we want to actually fortify that culture and capacity. And help them get there where they want to go,” Governor Matthew Marcos Manotoc said during the launching of the MSME-IC.
He added the project was intended to be a co-working space and a one-stop shop for local entrepreneurs.
The MSME-IC aims to boost development and promotional operations while also bringing key consumers and possible investors to one location, thereby assisting local MSMEs in expanding and broadening the reach of their products.
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) approved the project and allotted P4.3 for it.
Other services will also be provided to MSMEs, including technical assistance, capability building, and entrepreneurial skills enhancement.
Aside from the establishment of the Incubation Center, the PGIN MSME office also conducted the "Adal ken SirMATTa mentoring program," "Search for most innovative agri-based emergency food nutrition security," Alaska MSME cookfest, and the All in trade fair at Laoag City Aurora Park. － PGIN-CMO.
