Following a year of aggressive recovery, companies in different industries across the world have shifted their focus to sustaining the growth momentum in 2024 and beyond by stabilizing business operations and providing new value to customers.

With many still navigating the new business and economic landscape in the post-pandemic world, equipping business leaders and decision-makers with strategic insights has become even more relevant to overcome challenges and achieve sustainable success.

Here in the Philippines, the government expects robust economic growth in 2024 anchored on sound fiscal policy, a strong manufacturing sector, market optimism, and continuing digitalization.

To further empower businesses on how to take advantage of the positive economic outlook this year, MPower, a Meralco business unit and the leading retail electricity supplier (RES) in the Philippines, recently staged the ninth installment of its annual Executive Forum Series with the theme “Powering Forward: The 2024 Economic Outlook & Leadership Strategies in the New Era”.

MPower’s first major face-to-face event since the pandemic gathered over 200 business leaders and executives from the country’s top corporations to provide an avenue for industry leaders to exchange valuable insights on how to chart the path to success this 2024. The forum empowered industry movers and shakers with strategies on how to bridge the gap between business theories and applications this year and fostered valuable knowledge exchange among participants together with its panelists—renowned economist Dr. Bernardo Villegas and business speaker Francis Kong.

Meralco First Vice President and MPower Head Redel Domingo expressed optimism that 2024 would be another year of achievement as businesses move towards recalibrating their strategies to sustain the gains of the previous year.

“We look forward to a more fruitful collaboration with our partners as we continue powering forward and embracing the evolving business landscape with confidence while fostering a positive impact on our communities,” he said during the forum.

Mr. Domingo also emphasized that while the post-pandemic era will still have complex obstacles, the support and insights provided by MPower can help its business partners elevate their respective business strategies to continue powering forward and embracing the evolving business landscape with confidence.
