The National Productivity Olympics, a biennial event initiated by National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) and RTWPBs nation-wide, is a prestigious competition that showcases the best of the Philippines’ productivity –driven enterprises. It is a platform where micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from all regions gather to demonstrate their best practices in productivity, innovation and business sustainability.

With this year’s theme, “From Striving to Thriving: Reset and Reposition for Impact,” it aims to recognize MSMEs that demonstrated resilience in their adjustments in business strategies and goals as pandemic changed the world of work to achieve their targets, sustain growth, and contribute to economic recovery, and those that upgraded their technologies and innovation capacity, preserved employment and kept their employees engaged and committed to organizational goals.

This grand event is not just a competition; it is a celebration of entrepreneurial spirit and a testament to the pursuit of excellence in the business world.  

Here are the four (4) remarkable MSMEs from Caraga that will proudly represent the region in the 2023 National Productivity Olympics:
