foodpanda pledges support to MSMEs through digitalization

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) continue to be the backbone of the Philippine economy, comprising a vast majority of local businesses. As the country continues to move towards a post-pandemic world, this sector remains vulnerable and requires support from the public and private sector.

Among the companies pledging support is leading quick-commerce platform provider foodpanda, who made the commitment at the sidelines of the recent GO Negosyo MSME Summit 2022. For this year’s edition of the annual summit, organized by GO Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion, the theme was on the digitalization of MSMEs, including the usage of and support coming from digital platforms.   

As the country’s leading online quick commerce platform, foodpanda has thousands of partner merchants and shops in their food delivery and grocery services, a majority of which are MSMEs. “The use of digital technologies is here to stay even in the post-pandemic world, so businesses across industries – particularly small and medium enterprises – should learn how to adapt in order to survive. That’s where we can come in and help,” said Daniel Marogy, foodpanda Philippines Managing Director.
