Speaking at the formal launch, Jokin Aboitiz, Deputy Chief Operating Officer of Aboitiz Power Distribution Utilities, said innovation is no longer a luxury but a necessity to ensure “business sustainability, operational excellence, and community progress” across the Aboitiz Group and beyond.

“Some companies treat innovation as a ‘nice-to-have,’ but we cannot do that anymore,” Aboitiz told participants composed of industry leaders, academe, and young innovators yesterday during the formal launching of Innovate Cebu Program held at Seda Ayala Center Cebu.

What separates thriving organizations from stagnant ones is urgency—how quickly “we can test, learn, and evolve. Speed matters.”
