[Manila Times] Managing for Society

Designing Provincial Startups

05/05/26

"The Philippine startup conversation has long been dominated by Metro Manila. Venture capital clusters, fintech platforms, and technology accelerators tend to concentrate in the capital, reinforcing the perception that innovation is an urban privilege. Yet if entrepreneurship is to serve as a national engine of productivity, it cannot remain geographically confined. The real frontier lies in the provinces. What they require is not imitation of metropolitan models, but specialization anchored on local strengths and structural challenges."
