The Lasallian Social Enterprise for Economic Development Center conducted several learning sessions and introductory courses on social entrepreneurship for new stakeholders in Term 1 of Academic 2025-2026. A total of over 500 new stakeholders were given capacity building sessions through the Center's curricular, social enterprise development, and incubation and acceleration programs.
The LSEED Center, together with the National Association of Social Enterprise Educators and Administrators, hosted several sessions during the Philippine Social Enterprise Roadmap Conference, themed "Technology Innovations in Social Enterprise and the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) for the SDGs." This event, held from November 5 to 7, 2025, at the M.I.C.E. Center in Quezon City, gathered over 1000 participants and offered a dynamic platform for sharing ideas, fostering collaboration, and building networks within the social enterprise sector. Led by the SE Roadmap Council, the conference focused on promoting the growth of social enterprises and engaging a diverse range of stakeholders. Dr. Norby Roque Salonga, Founding Director of the LSEED Center and Chairperson of NASEEA, presented the Academe Sector report on the first day and facilitated numerous thematic sessions and workshops. The LSEED Center and NASEEA curated a series of engaging sessions, including the#WeCAN Panel Discussion, Service Learning through Social Entrepreneurship, and the National SE Profiling Panel Discussion (featuring the NGO Sector), along with the official launch of NASEEA.
As a parallel effort, the LSEED Social Enterprise Marketplace, in collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry and the MSME Sector, showcased an array of products and advocacy initiatives, further enriching the conference experience for all attendees.
Lastly, The Collective Good 2025 (TCG) Workshop (Phase 2) was successfully hosted by the Lasallian Social Enterprise for Economic Development Center of De La Salle University and the Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship (ACSEnt) at Ateneo de Manila University on November 26-27, 2025. The session brought together resource persons and participants to a two-day sharing of insights and discussions on projects that will support the social enterprise ecosystem of the country.
