With the theme Making It Happen: From Innovative Ideas to Execution, this year’s Innovation Summit will bring together tech and business leaders from various industries and how they are successfully implementing game-changing strategies towards sustainability and digital transformation. The first-ever hybrid event will focus on smart cities, industry disruptors, ESG tech and the next wave of automation.

The summit will launch KPMG R.G. Manabat & Co.’s Digital Government Center, the firm’s one-stop shop for national government agencies and local government units to help them with their digital transformation journeys from crafting a strategy plan and road map to automating services and processes to harnessing emerging technology to provide citizen-centric solutions to upskilling civil servants through trainings and certifications.

The summit will also host the local leg of KPMG’s Global Tech Innovator competition, showcasing local start-ups and emerging technology players to potential local and international investors.

In addition, in-person and virtual participants will also have the opportunity to avail of free quick consultations with KPMG subject matter experts to help them with digital and transformation issues relevant to their organization and industry.
