The annual event will run its 24th edition on 26 to 30 October 2022 at the Mega Trade Hall, SM Megamall.
In its bid to provide support to the government's effort to empower micro, small and medium enterprises, third-party logistics solutions provider Lalamove has announced its strengthened partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry Region 3 for the coming Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair in support of the DTI's One Town, One Product Philippines stimulus program.
This means that Lalamove will provide business logistics solutions to businesses across provinces within Central Luzon, namely Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales, that are designed to drive growth, widen reach, and boost economic performance.
This collaboration between Lalamove and DTI is in line with the latter's promotion of entrepreneurship across the Philippines, and its continued advocacy for local products and goods.
Supported by the Regional Development Council-3 and the Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation, Inc., the collaboration furthers the DTI's mandate to drive inclusive economic growth across all regions, provinces, and cities in the country.
Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair, a major regional trade promotion activity is jointly organized by DTI-3 and Philexport and is aimed to gather and champion the region's entrepreneurs.
The annual event will run its 24th edition on 26 to 30 October 2022 at the Mega Trade Hall, SM Megamall.
"By working together with logistics partner Lalamove, we hope to bridge the gap between Central Luzon communities, shine a light on the beauty of Filipino craftsmanship, creativity and ingenuity by opening the avenue for MSMEs to reach wider markets without compromising affordability and efficiency, and ultimately boost regional commerce across the country," DTI-3 Assistant Regional Director Brigida Pili said.
"As an advocate for MSME growth and empowerment, especially at the regional level, we hope to serve as a platform that enables connection among markets and communities in the Philippines, starting with Central Luzon. By working closely with the government to provide access to local entrepreneurs, we hope more businesses will feel more empowered and confident to grow their businesses further, and reach further, with Lalamove," Dannah Majarocon, Lalamove Philippines Managing Director, said.
Through Lalamove's on-demand delivery platform's long-distance delivery and last-mile delivery solutions, the partnership hopes to push entrepreneurs to grow further with the app's affordable rates (fixed price for the first 40 kms), reach farther with wider coverage across 31 serviceable areas in Luzon, and broaden their market through a wide-ranging fleet of vehicles fit for every delivery requirement.
Through these offerings and more, MSMEs can easily widen their scope for both B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to customers) deliveries, effectively opening new opportunities for growth with Lalamove.
