A wave of digital optimism swept through the local business landscape as Converge ICT Solutions, the nation’s leading fixed broadband and technology provider, hosted its first-ever MSME Convention, Bizkarteng Pinoy. The one-day event brought together government agencies, business owners, industry experts, and tech innovators for a day of learning, collaboration, and a reimagining of the MSME digital landscape.

Anchored on the theme “Enabling MSMEs To Go Further with The Power of Digital,” the convention provided valuable insights through expert-led panel discussions featuring thought leaders from the technology and business sectors. Topics included digital resilience, cybersecurity, data integration, and the role of MSMEs in driving smart cities.

A Day of Innovation and Digital Empowerment

Dynamic discussions highlighted perspectives from government representatives and industry luminaries in tech, AI, e-commerce, fintech, and MSME advocacy. Key highlights included:

  • Emerging technologies MSMEs can leverage to supercharge business growth.
  • The rising importance of data and analytics in business operations
  • Success stories of rising Filipino entrepreneurs.
  • Futureproofing MSMEs through smart connectivity, cybersecurity, and digital literacy

Distinguished speakers included Dennis Anthony Uy, CEO and Co-Founder of Converge; Sherwin Pelayo, Executive Director of the Analytics and AI Association of the Philippines; Atty. Usec. Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, former Undersecretary of DICT, and Mr. Jaypee Morales, President of the Association of Filipino Franchisers. Each panel delivered practical advice, real-world case studies, and strategic foresight tailored to the unique challenges facing Filipino SMEs.

The event showcased packed halls, engaging Q&A sessions, and buzzing networking lounges—reflecting the spirit of collaboration and innovation. Attendees explored cutting-edge technologies at the product demo zones, featuring AI solutions from Rev21 Labs and Gen AI, as well as digital tools from ChatGenie and Taxumo—each designed with SMEs in mind.

Speed Up Your Success

The highlight of the day came as Converge unveiled its brand-new 1 Gbps internet offering, specifically engineered for SMEs navigating a digital-first economy. This high-performance fiber service promises lightning-fast speeds, affordable plans, and business-oriented support services. With upgraded offerings across price points, Converge is paving the way for a future free from lag and downtime—empowering smaller enterprises to compete on a global scale.

These enhanced services now come bundled with Wi-Fi 6 routers, allowing businesses to leverage greater network coverage, improved connection stability, lower power consumption, and reduced latency—boosting productivity and streamlining operations.

“Our mission is clear: make world-class internet accessible to businesses of all sizes,” said JP Aguilar, OIC Head of Consumer and SME. “This is not just about speed; it’s about unlocking the potential of every Filipino entrepreneur.”

Bizkarteng Pinoy, the SME Tech convention of Converge, has sparked a transformative chapter for the MSME sector, spotlighting the boundless possibilities of digital innovation. Through lively discussions and shared insights, entrepreneurs and industry leaders embraced the idea that technology is no longer optional—it’s essential for growth, resilience, and long-term success.

The launch of its 1 Gbps internet service marks a bold step forward, signalling a future where Filipino businesses are fully equipped to thrive and compete on the global stage.
