WomenbizPH organized the ASEAN Regenerative Entrepreneurship Knowledge Exchange for Mindanao and BARMM last March 13, 2026 at SMX Davao . With Over 160+ attendees on site and 60+ participants online.

WomenBizPH currently leads the Women’s Sector under the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) Philippines 2026. We are working alongside government and regional partners to translate economic commitments into practical, community-anchored opportunities for women, particularly in weaving, halal food, agriculture, and cultural enterprises. WomenbizPH believe that when women are supported as entrepreneurs and stewards of heritage, they strengthen households, preserve traditions, and reinforce peace through shared prosperity. WomenbizPH signed a Memorandum of Agreement with SB Corporation during the event.

As communities face the realities of climate change and rapid digital transformation, women entrepreneurs are navigating both risk and opportunity. Supporting climate-resilient, regenerative livelihood models, alongside safe, secure and transparent digital tools, ensures that progress includes people, planet, process and platform. At the same time, as women-led enterprises engage in cross-border trade and digital markets, it is vital that economic participation strengthens peace, security, consumer protection, and trust across communities and borders.
