Finance Secretary Margarito Teves is expected to give his keynote speech prior to the discussions on other topics like the global economic outlook, which is to discuss on the perspective of the country of the economic situation.

The corporate growth strategies discussion will be coming from businessmen who have excelled in the industry despite starting small or those that started in other sectors before making it big in their respective businesses.
