GOVX.0 Philippines Summit

Propelled by a robust budget for 2026 and backed by international financing, the Philippines’ Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is doubling down on cloud infrastructure, data-driven decision making, and fully connected government bodies. This is not incremental; this is exponential opportunity for tech providers.

Oraganised by Tradepass, the second edition of GOVX.0 in the Philippines on 9 – 10 April 2026 will provide a direct access to this burgeoning market. The event will host 350+ officials and decision makers from both National Government Agencies and Primary Local Government Units across the Philippines to delve into next-gen solutions, recent trends and challenges, and forge strategic collaborations with solution providers.

Why Philippines

The Philippines is entering a decisive phase in its digital governance journey. Under the Bagong Pilipinas agenda, the government is fast-tracking the National Broadband Plan, expanding GovNet, advancing its Cloud-First strategy, and rolling out the National Cybersecurity Plan (2023-2028). With the proposed E-Governance Act set to unify platforms and ensure interoperability, and multi-billion-peso investments fueling connectivity, the nation is moving from vision to large-scale execution.

At the citizen level, the eGov PH Super App is already integrating dozens of services, the National ID is streamlining transactions, and LGUs are digitizing operations to boost efficiency. New reforms like Konektadong Pinoy are expanding telecom competition, lowering broadband costs, and strengthening digital inclusion. To top it all, the United Nations (UN) has honored the Philippines as one of just 12 out of 193 countries worldwide to receive the prestigious UN E-Government Award, recognizing the nation’s exceptional strides in digital governance.
