Angkas, the pioneering motorcycle ride-hailing service in the country, said it is committed to help ease transportation woes in the Philippines through technology.
George Royeca, Angkas chief executive who participated in the recently held APEC CEO Summit, said the government emphasis on digital infrastructure aligns with the company’s goal of leveraging technology to enhance the lives of Filipinos.
“The integration of robust digital infrastructure is crucial not only for education and financial transactions but also for fostering a more efficient and productive society,” Royeca said.
“At Angkas, we recognize the transformative power of technology in driving positive change and economic growth,” he added.
During the summit, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. delivered a compelling statement on the importance of digital infrastructure that emphasizes the transformative impact on education, villages, and financial transactions.
Marcos further highlighted the potential for improved connectivity to empower students and the public through enhanced internet access, leading to greater convenience in financial transactions and increased productivity.
The participation of Royeca in the summit provided an invaluable opportunity to showcase the success and potential of Philippine tech startups, fostering international collaborations and partnerships.
His insights and experiences contributed to discussions on fostering innovation, enhancing digital economies, and addressing the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
Royeca was part of the prestigious business delegation representing the innovative and dynamic tech startup industry in the Philippines assembled by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) at the Summit held from 14 to 17 November in San Francisco, USA.
