HP Philippines launches EntreHPreneur Hub with tools that empower SMBs

HP Philippines launches EntreHPreneur campaign with tools that enhances productivity in co-working spaces. Thanks to HP's collaboration with PenBrothers and Microsoft Philippines, small to medium-sized businesses can now be more productive and in sync in how start up works.

As businesses become more and more diversified, a lot of people are drawn easily into creating their own business be it small or big.  Thus the term small-to-medium-business enterprises or what we known as SMBs came to life. A lot of big businesses or enterprises today came from being an SMB first. And it is also through these SMB entrepreneurs that help make a nation grow big and prosperous, revenue-wise.

It is at this point that a tech-giant like HP Inc. Philippines has thought of a new campaign to help these budding SMBs and individuals who are starting up with their own business. HP Inc. Philippines introduces EntreHPreneur, a campaign dedicated to providing strong business solutions to SMBs in the country.

EntreHPreneur aims to address their need for innovative tech solutions and productive environments.  With this in mind, HP teamed up with Microsoft and the Penbrothers Co-working Space to develop the EntreHPreneur Hub.

The EntreHPreneur Hub is an enhanced collaborative working space that houses HP devices that aid business owners, startups, and freelancers in their day-to-day operations.

Easily accessible and ready-to-use co-working spaces are all the rage in the country today.  These spaces are favored by individuals who value freedom and flexibility in their work – from freelancers and startups to small and medium-sized businesses – those who are mobile and tech-driven.  Since they need to be adaptive, working in more than one location, this new crop of entrepreneurs and professionals also benefit from sturdy and lightweight devices that boast of powerful technical features.

An enhanced collaborative working space, the EntreHPreneur Hub is filled with the tech giant’s powerful business tools that will aid business owners, startups, and freelancers in their day-to-day operations.  These devices are all enterprise-worthy, which can help them all work better, and smarter.

By providing work display and mobility, co-working spaces allow SMBs to have more control on how they work.  HP understands this and wants to enhance the experience through the EntreHPreneur Hub. 

Here in Penbrothers, we understand the challenges many SMBs face – hiring, payroll, working space – and we have introduced an innovative approach to meet these needs by providing an end-to-end solution... The launch of EntreHPreneur Hub further helps young businesses in tackling these challenges, given the flexibility and functionality of their gadgets.  We are proud to collaborate with HP Inc. Philippines and Microsoft Philippines on this project
