Philippine Startup Week (PHSW) 2025 returns from November 10 to 14 to promote Filipino innovation and help startups expand beyond local borders. The event, titled “Scaling Filipino Innovation: Start Local, Go Global,” will focus on the world-class nature of local startups and how they can broaden their global impact. The event, organized by the Department of Science and Technology, Department of Trade and Industry, and Department of Information and Communications Technology, will be held in collaboration with the National Development Company and SCALE NCR to help local startups thrive on the global stage.
The festivities celebrating Filipino ingenuity extend beyond talks and panels. Philippine Startup Week 2025’s leading conferences will be in the newly opened Philippine Innovation Hub in Marikina. Within those five floors, delegates will find multiple conference stages, community events, a startup expo, and booths from partners.
The week-long celebration is anchored on five signature tracks that define the Philippine Startup Week experience: (1) Discover – exploring technopreneurship, the local startup ecosystem, and how to launch a venture; (2) Collaborate – working with key stakeholders to amplify innovation and growth; (3) Develop – strengthening ideas through mentorship and support to scale; (4) Showcase – highlighting tech startups through nationwide pitching opportunities; and (5) Invest – fueling breakthrough ventures that shape the future.
Attendees can hear from the ISA about upcoming initiatives to strengthen the country’s startup ecosystem and network with prominent startup enablers, champions, venture capital (VC) firms, and top startups in the country.
Philippine Startup Week 2025 is the country’s largest startup conference, dedicated to showcasing Filipino innovators who create solutions for local and global challenges. It’s the space for collaboration, connection, and inspiration.
We invite founders, investors, advocates, and anyone interested in exploring the Philippine startup community to come.
