“Innovate, Integrate, and Inspire”: SCC Business Congress Showcases Future Entrepreneurs

Southern Christian College (SCC) recently concluded its 2nd Business Congress on October 24, 2025 held at the SCC Fellowship Center. The event ran under the inspiring theme, “Innovate, Integrate, and Inspire: Shaping Tomorrow’s Business Leaders”, underscoring the institution’s commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and leadership among its future business professionals.

The congress embodied the spirit of the quote from Dr. Albert Szent-Györgyi: “Innovation is seeing what everyone has seen and thinking what no one has thought.”

Ms. Rochelle A. Otoc-Nuñez, Trade and Industry Development Analyst at the Department of Trade and Industry Region XI and an alumna of SCC’s College of Business and Accountancy, took the stage not just to speak, but to ignite a shift in perspective. She dismantled the myth that innovation is reserved for tech giants, urging the SCC students to find ‘blue ocean’ opportunities in their local contexts. Her session provided the intellectual framework for the afternoon, empowering students to view their product prototypes not just as school projects, but as viable business ventures.

Attendees witnessed students proudly presenting their product prototypes, with each creation reflecting originality, teamwork, and a palpable passion for business innovation. These creations embodied the essence of modern entrepreneurship—the process of turning vision into value and creativity into opportunity. The exhibition demonstrated the practical application of business principles learned in the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA) curriculum.

Adding flair and sophistication to the event, the CBA students confidently participated in a unique runway-inspired showcase. Students, dressed in their finest business attire, strutted down the walkway of the SCC Fellowship Center, embodying the spirit of professionalism and corporate excellence.

This showcase was more than just a fashion display; it served as a powerful celebration of confidence, creativity, and the business-minded identity that defines every CBA student. Each step on the runway echoed the theme of innovation and leadership, setting an energetic and forward-thinking tone for the afternoon.

The Business Congress 2025 successfully ignited the spirit of innovation, motivating young minds to dream bigger and shape the future of business with confidence and purpose.
