The Iloilo City Council has officially approved the Iloilo City Comprehensive Technology-Based Start-Up Ordinance of 2026, marking a significant milestone in strengthening the city's innovation ecosystem and positioning Iloilo as a leading hub for technology-driven entrepreneurship and innovation.
This landmark ordinance aims to encourage the establishment, growth, and sustainability of technology-based start-up enterprises in Iloilo City through the provision of both fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. It seeks to create a supportive environment where innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors can thrive and contribute to the city's economic development.
Through this initiative, Iloilo City further strengthens collaboration among the government, academe, industry partners, investors, technology business incubators, and innovation enablers. By fostering these partnerships, the ordinance will help generate quality employment opportunities, encourage research and development, accelerate digital transformation, and support the commercialization of innovative products and services developed by Ilonggo entrepreneurs.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotion (LEDIP) Office, for their invaluable guidance, support, and commitment throughout the development and passage of this ordinance.
We likewise acknowledge the valuable contributions and unwavering support of Mr. Rayjand T. Gellamucho of KWADRA TBI–ISAT U and Assistant Leader of the UMWAD Consortium, Ms. Milyn Leghid of UPV Coastline 5023, as well as all start-ups and Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) in the city, for their continued commitment to fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and the growth of Iloilo City’s start-up ecosystem.
