NDC signs memorandum of understanding agreements with AIESEC Philippines, Bughaw Creative Collective, and StartUp Village

The National Development Company recently signed a memorandum of understanding with three forward-thinking organizations: AIESEC Philippines Foundation, Inc., StartUp Village Management Corporation, and Bughaw Creative Collective, Inc.

Country President of AIESEC in the Philippines, Bettina Marlise Quilapio, and Branch Manager for Business Development of AIESEC DLSU-Manila, Maria Cecilia Mendiola, expressed their excitement for this partnership, as it would directly empower more young people to venture into startups and entrepreneurship.

Likewise, StartUp Village’s President Carlo Calimon restated their commitment to support startups, guiding them from scratch and mentoring them to reach their full potential because they strongly believe that “it takes a village to raise a startup.”

Bughaw Creative Collective’s co-founder, Chief Innovator, and Group CFO, Jocel Isidro Dilag, also echoed their mission to empower creative-type startups by assisting them with the technical process of registering and other compliances.

The signing was wrapped up by the Lead Product Owner of SAP Germany, Peter Roth, and the License Utilization Manager of SAP UK, Osas Ehigie, with both lauding NDC’s objective of nurturing ideas to stimulate growth and finding the right organizations to support.
