The future of business, technology, and finance is set to converge under one roof as the Philippine Business Conference & Expo (PBC&E) returns on October 20 to 21, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center Manila — this time with its first-ever Tech Expo, a free event designed to showcase the next wave of innovation shaping how Filipinos live, work, and pay.
Dubbed as a dynamic meeting point for business owners, entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and students, the Tech Expo will feature live demonstrations, interactive displays, and thought-provoking discussions from some of the world’s most influential technology companies.
From AI and automation to fintech solutions, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and smart enterprise systems, the expo promises an immersive look at the tools redefining industries and fueling the country’s digital economy.
PH Tech Expo 2025: Bridging business and technology
Organized by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), the country’s largest business organization, the Tech Expo underscores a growing realization among businesses: embracing digital transformation is no longer optional — it’s essential for growth and survival in a fast-changing world.
This year’s theme, “The Future is Now: Unleash the Power of Digital Transformation,” reflects how technology — particularly in fintech and AI — is unlocking new opportunities for both enterprises and everyday consumers.
“The Tech Expo is about helping Filipino businesses see what’s possible when technology and innovation are at the core of strategy,” stated PCCI in a press release. “From digital payments to AI-driven analytics, we’re witnessing how fintech and smart systems can transform the way we operate and compete globally.”
From AI to fintech: Innovation on display
A powerhouse lineup of global and local players will headline the event.
APC by Schneider will lead discussions on advancing sustainability through smarter, greener technology. Autodesk will highlight how AI is reshaping digital construction, while Arista and Vertiv explore how AI-ready data centers are strengthening global connectivity.
D-Link will take a deep dive into the transformative potential of 5G, one of the key enablers of financial inclusion and mobile commerce.
On the fintech front, experts will share how emerging technologies are driving faster, safer, and more inclusive financial systems. With more Filipinos embracing e-wallets and online banking, fintech innovation continues to power the shift toward a cashless economy — making digital transactions more accessible to small businesses and consumers alike.
Meanwhile, Trend Micro, SonicWall, Stellar Cyber, and Versa Networks will spotlight the growing importance of cybersecurity and digital resilience — crucial for fintech adoption and hybrid work environments.
Docusign, Opentext, and Oracle will guide attendees through the next phase of digital transformation, where cloud-based solutions are helping enterprises automate, scale, and stay agile in an increasingly connected world.
Attendees can also explore interactive booths featuring cutting-edge innovations from LG, Panasonic, Microsoft, HPE, Nutanix, and VMware by Broadcom, which will showcase AI-powered business solutions. ReN3 will close the lineup with strategic insights on how Philippine businesses can thrive in an AI-driven and fintech-integrated economy.
Empowering the next generation of innovators
Beyond the exhibits and keynotes, the Tech Expo aims to create an engaging space for learning and collaboration. Entrepreneurs, professionals, and students can expect hands-on product demos, networking opportunities, and even raffle prizes throughout the two-day event.
Government agencies including the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will also take part, reinforcing the public sector’s commitment to driving the nation’s digital transformation agenda.
For small and medium enterprises, fintech and digital tools remain powerful equalizers. With the rise of mobile banking, online marketplaces, and cloud-based finance systems, even micro-entrepreneurs can now access tools once exclusive to large corporations — helping boost efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness in the digital economy.
Driving the future of the digital Philippines
The 51st PBC&E is expected to gather more than 2,000 delegates, including business leaders, innovators, and policymakers, all focused on exploring how technology can power inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
With fintech adoption surging and AI reshaping industries, the Tech Expo offers a front-row seat to the trends shaping tomorrow’s marketplace — from smarter payments and data-driven business models to green technology and digital inclusion.
