Why build a startup in Iloilo

The place to build: a support ecosystem that has your back, and a city that gives you room to live.

You won’t build alone

Incubators, business groups, government programs, founder-friendly LGUs and universities — each a click away in the directory.

Technology business incubators in universities and the private sector, with programs from idea to market.

Chambers and industry associations that open doors to customers, mentors and partners.

National agencies and their regional offices running grants, training and startup programs.

Local governments with startup ordinances, business one-stop shops and innovation councils.

Schools producing engineers, designers and researchers — and spinning out startups of their own.

Iloilo is a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. Client lunches and team dinners are never a chore.

Wide esplanades and bike lanes mean your commute can be part of your day, not the worst of it.

Coworking spaces and university incubators give early teams a desk, a network and room to grow.

Shorter commutes and a slower pace mean founders keep their health and their evenings — and stay in the game longer.
