 <description>&lt;strong&gt;CentroMigrante wins MIT 100K&lt;/strong&gt;






&lt;a href=&quot;/modules.php?name=News&amp;amp;new_topic=9&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;
For a business&amp;nbsp;idea that was just discovered on a &amp;quot;serendipity walk,&amp;quot; (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inq7.net/globalnation/sec_fea/2003/feb/06-02.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; article) there is no doubt that Centromigrante has made a giant leap by winning the grand prize from the prestigious MIT 100K Entrepreneurship Competition last week in Cambridge, Massachussettes.&amp;nbsp;This is the first time a&amp;nbsp; Filipino team&amp;nbsp;has taken&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;this&amp;nbsp;100K race, a competition that&amp;nbsp;might as well be compared to a&amp;nbsp;marathon&amp;nbsp;for its magnitude and prestige.&amp;nbsp;An advantage arose&amp;nbsp;for the Pinoy team&amp;nbsp;when MIT decided to shift course this year&amp;nbsp;and open 100K to a development track.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/tuesdaygutz/centromigrante-wins-mit&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
