About IGNITE

Co-developed by TechShake and Dentsu X, IGNITE Philippines is a conference aimed at revitalizing the startup ecosystem in the Philippines. It brings startups, investors, corporations, and government officials not only from the Philippines but the ASEAN region and beyond. The event focuses on capturing new technologies and innovation trends while offering business opportunities abroad.

Program Overview

Wildfire will be held in collaboration with Pegasus Tech Ventures‘ pitch event, the Startup World Cup. As the Philippine regional qualifier for the Startup World Cup, the winner will earn the opportunity to compete in the global finals held in Silicon Valley.
