Headlined by spectacular speakers and a conjugation of some of Asia’s top VIPs, Techtonic Summit 2018 is the tech conference to attend."

Last year, Techtonic Summit made history as the Philippines’ largest tech conference with over 6,000 attendees.

As a follow-up to this huge success, Techtonic Summit 2018 will be an even bigger groundbreaking formation with 10,000 attendees, 200 startups, and 100 investors.

The two-day summit aims to make Southeast Asia the epicenter of groundbreaking innovation by bringing together the movers and shakers from across Southeast Asia – startups, investors, corporates, the academe, media, and government, to create a bigger network for startup ecosystem, gain local and international exposure, and secure successful funding for startups.

Attendees can look forward to explosive speaker line-ups, rattling startup pitches and exhibits, and a landslide of ideas and innovative breakthroughs.


“Summits like Techtonic Summit are really valuable opportunities for both startups and investors to get
acquainted with some of the best ideas and technologies in the market. It’s really a venue for collaboration and idea generation and I look forward to getting to know some of Southeast Asia’s top entrepreneurs,” said Francis Simisim, Partner of OPVC and CEO of Social Light Inc.

The main event will be the Ring of Fire Pitching Competition where startups will battle it out on stage, not just for exposure, but for a chance to win US$10,000. In addition to that, the top 20 startups automatically become Startup Exhibitors at the two-day summit, which includes a free cocktail booth, as well as an exclusive showcase to a curated list of VIPs consisting of venture capitalists, angel investors, and corporate and government representatives via business matching and an invite-only VIP dinner.

Tech-enabled Filipino startups who are currently operating or intend to operate outside of the Philippines in the next 12 months, as well as tech-enabled foreign startups that currently operate or intend to operate in the Philippines in the next 12 months are eligible to join.

Whether to join the competition, put up a booth, or learn more about our startup ecosystem, Techtonic Summit 2018 is an event that’s vital to anyone interested in making it as a tech entrepreneur in Southeast Asia. Registration to attend is free for the public!
