DTI launches upgraded Negosyo Center portal for MSMEs
The Department of Trade and Industry will launch its upgraded Negosyo Center Online Portal 2.0, or NCOP 2.0, on Sept. 28 to make government business support easier and more accessible to entrepreneurs.
The enhanced platform centralizes essential business development services and resources, allowing micro, small, and medium enterprises, or MSMEs, to access assistance remotely without visiting a physical Negosyo Center.
The launch will be held at the Model Negosyo Center of the DTI National Capital Region Office in Makati City and livestreamed on the agency’s official Facebook page.
DTI officials, regional and provincial directors, Negosyo Center program leads, entrepreneurs, business coaches, and key industry stakeholders are expected to attend.
Developed by the Negosyo Center Program Management Office, NCOP 2.0 consolidates several core services, including business registration assistance, advisory support, educational modules, and one-on-one virtual pro bono coaching from certified mentors.
The platform also incorporates client profiling, content management, and data analytics tools that will allow DTI to track entrepreneurial trends, assess user needs, and refine its support programs.
By digitizing services traditionally delivered through physical Negosyo Centers, the portal is designed to save entrepreneurs time while extending government assistance to remote and underserved areas nationwide.
The Negosyo Center program was established under Republic Act No. 10644, or the Go Negosyo Act, which seeks to promote ease of doing business and improve MSME access to government services and assistance.
Through updated software, educational content, and a network of qualified business advisers, NCOP 2.0 aims to provide businesses with more consistent and accessible support.
The initiative is part of DTI’s broader push to digitize public service delivery and respond to the changing needs of Filipino entrepreneurs.
Business owners and other interested parties may access the services through the official Negosyo Center website at negosyocenter.dti.gov.ph.
