On April 24, our very own Head of Startup Development, Shor Macalbe, participated as a panel speaker in a moderated discussion during the GIZ Ecosystem Tour’s forum on digital and green innovation.

Joined by a panel of fellow enablers from the private sector and academia dedicated to these sectors, Shor highlighted the significant strides the Philippine startup ecosystem is making within the sustainable and technological landscape. The discussion aimed to provide the international delegation with a deeper understanding of the local commitment to green innovation, while emphasizing that the work being done by Philippine enablers carries a global impact.

By showcasing these local efforts, the session sought to bridge the gap between regional innovation and international markets, opening up new doors for business opportunities that extend far beyond the Philippines.

On April 24, 2026, IdeaSpace and QBO had the pleasure of hosting GIZ Philippines and its delegation of international startup enablers at our home in Zero Ten Park Manila.

It was an incredible opportunity to pull back the curtain on the Philippine startup landscape and showcase the work we are doing as ecosystem builders, offering the visitors a closer look at the mechanisms driving innovation in the region. By exploring the programs and support systems in place, the delegation gained a deeper understanding of how the Philippines is cultivating its next generation of tech talent and entrepreneurs. This exchange not only showcased the work being done at IdeaSpace and QBO but also emphasized the power of global collaboration in strengthening startup communities worldwide.

Great conversations, better company, and a shared vision for the future of tech. Let’s keep building!
