The sari-sari store is stepping into the digital economy. 🇵🇭

Our portfolio company, Packworks, is partnering with KairoTech to build what they envision as the Philippines’ first Sari-Sari Retail Media Network—connecting brands with Filipino consumers through one of the country’s most important grassroots retail channels.

With a network of 300,000+ digitized sari-sari stores, Packworks is helping bring technology, data, and new market opportunities closer to the neighborhood stores that millions of Filipinos rely on every day.

It’s more than smarter advertising. It’s about helping sari-sari stores sell more, make better decisions, strengthen their economics, and stay competitive—while preserving the trusted suki relationships at the heart of neighborhood retail.

A stronger digital ecosystem for the stores that keep communities moving.

The future of work is being rewritten and QBO was right there leading the conversation at an insightful fireside chat at Echelon Philippines 2026 earlier this week. 🚀

Our very own Head of Startup Development, Shor Macalbe, represented QBO, diving deep into the massive question: "What's an Office for Now? Work and the Workplace in the AI Era." 🤖💼

In a discussion presented by Zero-Ten Park Manila, QBO, & Hustleshare, Shor and fellow panelists explored the friction between AI making teams smaller and more remote, and the undeniable reality that innovation hubs are still booming. Why do founders keep showing up in person? What makes a physical workspace worth the commute when AI handles the grunt work?

It was a session packed with sharp insights and forward-thinking strategies that are defining the next chapter of the startup ecosystem.

💡 Ready to build your startup's next chapter in the AI era? Don't grow in isolation. Connect with QBO Innovation to access startup support, and check out Zero Ten Park to find a space designed for real collaboration, growth, and community.
