About Entrep Summit

     Entrep Summit is the annual culmination project of the Business Directorate of the Manila Jaycees (JCI-Manila) since 2008.  The project aims to invigorate the SME sector with an annual entrepreneurship event that addresses the challenges of entrepreneurs today by putting together some of the best Filipino business people and influential individuals in a one-day conference to share about their experiences and road to success stories.   This project encapsulates the JCI-Manila’s tenet of providing "economic justice by free men through free enterprise" and cement JCI Manila as a leadership organization actively participating in the business concerns of young leaders and entrepreneurs. Being the lifeblood of the Philippine economy, the SMEs should consciously adapt and grow with market changes and take steps to attaining their business goals - thus coining the term "Entrep Summit".

With this year’s theme of Inspiring Tomorrow’s Leaders, this event aims to inspire and fuel the entrepreneurial spirit of young Filipinos. It will congregate young entrepreneurs and energetic minds that have creative ideas, and inject them with the business acumen that is needed to transcend the trying challenges of the current world crisis. Entrep Summit aims also to dispel fears about going into business, or staying in business – there is nothing more worth while right now to pursue than the Entrepreneurial dream of attaining success and breaking the bonds of financial insecurity.
