Globe Partner Network is a program that aims to foster an ecosystem of Tech Experts with SMEs. With this partnership, EntrepNegosyo, Emarket, and Globe myBusiness help SMEs grow their businesses
ADVOCATING ENTREPRENEURS’ NEEDS THROUGH PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES
The man behind EntrepNegosyo and Emarket is Johanson Dy Cheng, industrial designer turned banker with a passion for entrepreneurship. Cheng used his professional experience both in the private and volunteer sectors to successfully establish EntrepNegosyo back in 2005. His mission is to provide business news, bulletins, research, and reports on technological advancements that would help promote entrepreneurial literacy for the business community.
Apart from being an information and insights gateway, EntrepNegosyo offers consultancy services and serves as a bridge between young entrepreneurs and already well-established and successful business owners and tycoons, both local and international. Cheng also adds, “It aims to assist MSMEs to promote and sell their products and services, connect with new customers, and keep existing customers. It aims to be the top of mind community for consumers who are looking for reliable products and services.”
Emarket, on the other hand, is the online marketplace arm of EntrepNegosyo, a Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C) driven website. Since its inception, it’s become an avenue for providing services such as product sourcing, e-commerce solutions, and product delivery.
Emarket also offers a 24/7 customer care and social media support, Shopify web design services, and digital marketing training.
To date, the website now has more than 8,000 start-up subscribers and SMEs who are making full use of this valuable portal.
