Tech-based education, a key driver for growth of technopreneurship

Technopreneurs have taken center stage in the world of business, from when the first modern computers were made (think Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) to today when pushing boundaries has become a business norm (think Richard Branson and Elon Musk). 

In the Philippines, a number of businesses are increasingly being built in and around an intensively technological environment. And the market is all too ready to patronize homegrown tech businesses, from big firms like consumer and enterprise technology solutions company Xurpas Inc. to startups like peer-to-peer delivery marketplace Muber. The pressure is on for technopreneurs to tap this market.

“More often than not, technopreneurs are made and technopreneurship is learned. Setting up tech enterprises require more than pouring resources into a venture; there is a learning pathway that will help ensure the success of the enterprise,” says Ambassador Amable R. Aguiluz V, considered as the father of IT education in the Philippines and founder of AMAES.
