The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) is set to stage the 51st Philippine Business Conference & Expo (PBC&E) on October 20–21 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, gathering business leaders, policymakers, and innovators under the theme “The Future is Now: Unleash the Power of Digital Transformation.”
This year’s PBC&E will showcase government programs aligned with the national digitalization roadmap. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will feature technology-powered disaster preparedness initiatives, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) will highlight infrastructure connectivity projects, while the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will present tools to prepare micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) for digital adoption.
For the first time, the PBC&E Tech Expo will be open to the public, offering hands-on experiences with innovations in AI, IoT, smart cities, robotics, and cybersecurity. Powerhouse brands such as Huawei, Google, Tencent Cloud, Lenovo, Fortinet, Microsoft, and Oracle will join local leaders like Converge, San Miguel Corporation, and PhilExport to showcase solutions shaping the Philippines’ digital future.
