The 7th Northern Philippines Business Research Conference (NPBRC) is set to take place on April 16โ17, 2026 at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), Sta. Mesa, Manila, bringing together researchers, educators, industry practitioners, and students for a two-day academic gathering centered on innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation.
With the theme, โReimagining Business Futures: Innovation, Sustainability, and Digital Transformation,โ this yearโs conference underscores the growing importance of research-driven solutions in navigating the evolving landscape of business and society. The conference serves as a platform for presenting scholarly work, exchanging ideas, and strengthening collaboration among institutions committed to academic excellence and business innovation.
A major highlight of the event is the keynote address of Dr. Kyra Sin Kit Yeng of Sunway University, Malaysia. She will deliver a thought-provoking presentation titled, โFrom Linear to Circular: Rethinking Business Models for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth.โ Her talk is expected to provide fresh perspectives on how organizations can move beyond traditional business models and embrace circular, sustainable, and socially responsive approaches in todayโs interconnected world.
The conference will also feature a distinguished roster of plenary speakers from government, academe, and industry. Dr. Jean Paolo Lacap, City Government Administrator of Angeles, Pampanga, will speak on โKey Strategies to Manage the Demand of Writing a Research.โ His session is expected to offer practical insights for faculty members, researchers, and students navigating the challenges of academic writing and research productivity.
Joining him is Dr. Emmanuel Dotong, PhD, CMI, MBDF, FBE, Associate Professor from the Jose Rizal University, whose presentation is titled โLiterature Review: Using AI Tools in Research.โ His discussion is especially timely as artificial intelligence continues to reshape research processes, enabling scholars to improve efficiency, synthesis, and analysis while also raising important questions on ethics and responsible use.
Completing the plenary lineup is Mr. Lucrecio Delgado of the Innovation Hub Foundation, who will present โDesign Thinking, Creativity, and Innovation Management.โ His talk is expected to inspire participants to adopt a more innovative and human-centered mindset in solving business and organizational challenges.
The 7th NPBRC reflects a continuing commitment to fostering a strong research culture in the Northern Philippines and beyond. More than just a conference, it is a venue for intellectual exchange, professional development, and institutional collaboration. By engaging respected speakers and relevant contemporary themes, the conference aims to empower participants to generate research that is impactful, responsive, and aligned with the demands of the future.
As anticipation builds, the event promises to be another meaningful milestone for the academic and research community, further solidifying the Northern Philippines Business Research Conference as a significant platform for advancing business research, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the country.
