Rule of Law
- The rule of law encompasses regulatory structures, policy environment, and enforcement of regulations—crucial for assessing Philippine competitiveness.

Access to Credit

- Obtaining funding frequently involves extensive documentation and collateral requirements—difficult for many MSMEs to meet.
- An enterprise survey (U-ACT, 2008) revealed that access to capital/financing was a major problem, with nearly 72% of respondents experiencing difficulty obtaining capital/investment funds.
Internationalization and Global Production Networks
- Globalization and international market integration have transformed entrepreneurship, requiring adaptation.
- Entrepreneurs need to be capable of seeing opportunities, capitalizing on ideas, organizing resources (capital, knowledge, partners, and management skills) to function and succeed internationally.
- Key areas affecting global competitiveness (defined by WEF) include infrastructure development, labor market efficiency, innovation, readiness, intellectual property protection, and spending on research and development.
Role of Enterprise Networks
- Collaboration among academic, business, and government sectors is crucial in fostering entrepreneurship.
- Enterprise networks (e.g., the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship [PCE]) play a vital role in developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
- These networks aim to create "Go Negosyo communities"—supporting businesses through mentorship, networking, and knowledge sharing.
- PCE's concrete goal is to foster the formation of such communities to help entrepreneurs navigate globalization's challenges.
Nurturing the Entrepreneurship Paradigm
- Entrepreneurship encompasses more than simply economic activity.
- It represents a way of thinking that can empower individuals, create jobs, and enhance quality of life.
- This approach is important to drive economic and social progress.
