📣 PRMSU Economic Enterprise Development Service at the 2025 Regional Youth Entrepreneurship Program

The PRMSU Economic Enterprise Development Service proudly participated in the 2025 Regional Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP) Summit with the theme “Empowering Central Luzon’s Next Generation Innovators,” held last December 1, 2025, at the University of the Assumption.

The delegation was headed by Dr. Michelle G. Acuavera, together with the PRMSU YEP Winners – Batch 1 and Batch 2. As representatives of Zambales, they showcased “Panaliwan ha PRMSU” during the Regional Trade Fair, highlighting youth-led products and innovative ideas from across Central Luzon.

In partnership with DTI Zambales, the event underscored the growing competitiveness, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of young innovators in the Zambales community.

The summit featured a full-day program of learning, inspiration, and collaboration—from keynote messages and creative skills training to success stories, networking, and business pitching—empowering youth entrepreneurs to turn passion into purpose-driven enterprises.
