Students explored technology and business innovations at SMITENSITY 2025, a week-long fair hosted by the De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) School of Management and Information Technology (SMIT).
Themed “Continuum: Code the Future, Lead the Change,” the event featured exhibits, workshops, expert talks, and competitions to promote creativity, professional skills, and real-world impact.
SMIT Dean Joana Diñoso said the theme highlights the continuous evolution of technology and the need for leaders who can use it for positive change. Benilde Chancellor Benhur Ong noted the college brings together innovators, entrepreneurs, coders, marketers, and analysts, all focused on making meaningful contributions across fields like cybersecurity, social innovation, business intelligence, game design, and human resources.
“This theme speaks to the continuous evolution of technology and the ever-increasing need for leaders who can harness its potential for positive change,” Dean Diñoso shared. “In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to blend technical expertise with strategic business acumen is not just an advantage. It is actually a necessity.”
Participants viewed capstone projects in business, logistics, and marketing, sustainable product designs from entrepreneurship programs, and research posters advocating innovative ideas. Industry expert talks offered career guidance and insights into social enterprise, marketing, human resources, export, and global business management.
Students also joined competitions and interactive challenges, including quizzes on ethics, real estate, and finance, as well as team-based problem-solving exercises. The SMIT-Analytics, Computing, and Infotech Cluster hosted innovation talks on digital platforms, storytelling tools, and communication technologies, alongside a data analytics case competition, workshops, and hands-on activities.
Booths and presentations showcased the college’s cybersecurity program, systems analysis, business process improvement, project management, and strategy.
SMITENSITY 2025 gave students a chance to apply classroom learning to practical experiences while emphasizing sustainability, creativity, and leadership in technology and business.
