Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya — In a continued effort to empower micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and strengthen innovation-led development in the region, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Region 2 awarded the approved Shared Service Facility (SSF) grants for 2025 during the 3rd MSME Summit, held on July 8, 2025, at the Carlos M. Padilla Convention Center.
The InnoKomunidad hub will cater to students, startups, MSMEs, and community organizations by offering services such as digital prototyping, multimedia content creation, digital learning tools, marketing support, and incubation for emerging entrepreneurs. Its development aligns with DTI’s national SSF program objectives—to increase MSME productivity and competitiveness through accessible, modernized facilities.
The grant proposal was authored by Ms. Ruth Charlyn D. Ramel and Dr. Cesar T. Medula, Jr., whose dedication and technical expertise contributed significantly to the successful approval of the project. The grant is not in the form of a cash award but will be delivered as equipment and service installations designed to operationalize the hub in support of inclusive innovation and enterprise development.
