About EMCON
Empowering Filipino MSMEs through innovation, collaboration, and practical capability building.
The Entrepinoy MSME Conference (EMCON) is a collaborative platform that brings together entrepreneurs, startups, mentors, academe, government agencies, technology partners, investors, and other ecosystem enablers to help Filipino micro, small, and medium enterprises grow, innovate, and become more resilient.
More than a one-day conference, EMCON is designed as an MSME ecosystem activation platform—a space where ideas are translated into practical action, meaningful connections are formed, and opportunities for collaboration continue beyond the event. Through plenary sessions, practical masterclasses, MSME and innovation showcases, mentoring, and networking, participants gain relevant insights, stronger linkages, and actionable next steps for their businesses and organizations.
EMCON was launched in 2023 through the collaboration of the Entrepinoy Volunteers Foundation, Inc. (EVFI), Miriam College, and the Department of Science and Technology–National Capital Region (DOST–NCR). Since then, it has grown into a continuing community that connects entrepreneurs with the knowledge, technologies, mentors, and support networks they need to move forward.

What We Believe
MSMEs need more than inspiration. They need access, guidance, visibility, practical tools, and meaningful connections.
EMCON brings these together in one collaborative experience—helping entrepreneurs learn, showcase what they do, connect with the right people, and take practical steps toward growth.
EMCON is where entrepreneurs meet ideas, mentors, technology, and opportunity.
