In collaboration with the Philippine Trade and Investment Center Singapore, Brainsparks, Inc., and Quest Ventures, the Startup Pilipinas showcase at ECHELON X features the winners of the SLINGSHOT x Venture Pilipinas Pitch Competition from the Philippine Startup Week 2023.
These innovative companies include:

This showcase is part of the DTI’s business mission to connect Philippine startups with international investors through facilitating strategic business matching and securing actionable investment deals and partnerships in Singapore and beyond.
