Since May 2017, SparkUp, BusinessWorld’s multimedia platform for the business-minded youth, has been covering millennial-led start-ups and small and medium enterprises. A year later, it gathered about 500 readers — a crowd composed of business students and young entrepreneurs — in a convention called SparkUp Summit held at the Samsung Hall of SM Aura, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. On these pages, we run the stories of the summit’s speakers — stories that first saw print in the second issue of BusinessWorld SparkUp and available online at sparkup.ph. Together, these young men and women represent the next generation of business people: creative, idealistic, ambitious, passionate, and most importantly, out on a mission to serve the country.
