BusinessWorld launches SparkUp for young entrepreneurs and investors

BusinessWorld, the country's leading business newspaper, has began embracing the digital age for years now. And in its 30th anniversary, it engages on the young market, in the evolution of the collegiate dialogue BusinessWorld Student Forum to Bworld University and now SparkUp -- an online platform that guides millennials to properly use money and put it to good use with entrepreneurship.

The direction for a digital-first multimedia platform came from Lucien C. Dy Tioco, Executive Vice-President of Philippine Star Media Group, which BusinessWorld is part of. “SparkUp will prove to be a useful platform for business-minded millennials and centennials because it will not only serve as a source of business knowledge, but also a community where they can share ideas and inspire each other to turn business concepts into reality,” he said.

SparkUp also releases a quarterly magazine that features a thorough discussion of topics reflected on the online platform. To further guide you on the content of SparkUp, they also released themes that will make your browsing much easier:
