CBA’s Webinar
Constantly, in every morning encountered, new advances in our lives happen. Each
day ends with a new discovery especially when it comes to technology. Experts kept on
utilizing their creativeness to come up with things that could ease the struggles of yesterday.
Because of these rapid changes brought by skillful creators, I wasn't even able to realize all
of these not until I attended today's SciTech4Dev 2021: "A Webinar: The DTI's Innovation
Efforts in Business Perspective".
Mr. Stephen Kintanar, the webinar's resource speaker, tackled about the new
technologies used in businesses, innovations in businesses and DTI's programs in relation
to innovations and new technologies in businesses in general. Throughout his significant
discussions, I was amazed by all of the new things I grasped. Honestly, I am already aware
about the new technologies mentioned during the webinar such as Social Media Marketing,
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, E-commerce Platforms, Virtual Meeting
Platforms, 5G and Cybersecurity. However, there were new technologies introduced that
were unfamiliar to me. Thus, I was surprised after knowing that such advances are already
in use in business operations today. I thought that those were still in process of evaluating
its effectiveness.
In addition, the business world has really advanced as of today and our government
agencies are always equipped in adapting the changes that this advancement brings. Such
action of the government made me feel satisfied and relieved especially when the resource
speaker mentioned the Republic Act 11293 also known as Philippine Innovation Law. Since
it is an act that recognizes innovation as a key instrument towards development, I felt
relieved knowing that a government's support is also a necessity of business to be able to
effectively apply their creative innovations. Also, Mr. Kintanar introduced the programs
of DTI which helps all businesses in developing their current standing. I felt really excited
especially that there were also programs meant to support young entrepreneurs in their
interest in business like the Youth Entrepreneurship Program. It is good to hear that the act
was, indeed, put into effective actions until today and that DTI acknowledged the youth's
curiosity and willingness on entering the business world.
Spending hours of watching and listening to today's webinar was, indeed, worthy.
Throughout the event, I was able to focus since the topics were really interesting for me as
a student that studies a course related to business. Attending this webinar brought me to
bliss because the learnings I gathered in those hours were numerous advantages I could
bring in a lifetime.
