Limitless Lab, in partnership with the ASEAN Foundation, successfully hosted "LimitlessBiz National Policy Convening: Unlocking Policy, Practice, and Partnership Possibilities for AI-Empowered MSMEs in the Philippines" at the Likhang Filipino Gallery 1, Pasay City held on May 07, 2026.

The landmark event brought together over 100 stakeholders from government agencies, industry leaders, and MSME enablers to co-create a roadmap for responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in the Philippines.

The convening is a cornerstone of the AI for MSME Advancement in ASEAN (AIM ASEAN) programme, supported by AVPN, Google.org and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

With a national goal of training 17,500 MSMEs, the Philippine National Policy Convening focused on translating on-the-ground business experiences into actionable national policy recommendations aligned with the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2030.

The convening highlighted that AI is no longer a future concept but a practical necessity for the survival and growth of MSMEs in today's economy.

A central goal of the event was to ensure that the voices and needs of small business owners remain at the forefront of the policies governing the country's rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Key highlights of the convening included:
• Multi-Stakeholder Panels: Discussions featured leaders from the DTI, DICT, and industry experts focusing on breaking down barriers such as affordability, digital literacy, and data governance.

• LimitlessBiz App Launch: Limitless Lab officially introduced the waitlist for its AI-enabled platform, designed to provide MSMEs with hands-on learning modules and practical AI tools like Gemini.

• Policy Co-Creation Workshops: Participants worked in clusters to identify regulatory gaps and propose financing mechanisms to support small-scale AI integration.

The recommendations surfaced during the event will be synthesized into a National Policy Brief to be presented to the ASEAN Coordinating Committee on MSMEs (ACCMSME) and the DTI Philippines.

Limitless Lab extends its sincere appreciation to all speakers, panelists, moderators, exhibitors, volunteers, partners, media representatives, and participants who contributed to the success of the convening.

Special thanks as well to the ASEAN Foundation, AVPN, Google.org, ADB, CITEM, and all collaborating organizations and community partners for supporting the shared mission of building a more inclusive, responsible, and AI-ready future for MSMEs in the Philippines and across ASEAN.

It all comes down to collaboration.

For our third panel tomorrow at the LimitlessBiz: AIM ASEAN National Policy Convening, Partnerships for Progress, we explore how different players can work together to unlock AI for MSMEs.

Our panelists include:
• Eci Ernawati, ASEAN Foundation, leading regional efforts on AI for MSMEs
• Kevin Charuel, French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines, enabling cross-border business collaboration
• Michael Rafael Ruiz, PLDT Enterprise, driving enterprise innovation and digital solutions
• Karl Pacolor, DTI AI and Startup Center, supporting startups and MSMEs through national initiatives

This conversation will be facilitated by Limitless Lab Chief Growth Officer, Fabrice Jonas.

Join us in this landmark event and you might just find your next collaborator.

See you there!

Tomorrow, we take on a critical question: How do we enable AI adoption for MSMEs at scale and with responsibility?

Our second panel, The Policy Imperative, brings together voices shaping the rules, systems, and direction of AI in the Philippines.

In conversation:
• Jerry Ilao, President of the Philippine AI Business Association, advancing the country’s AI ecosystem
• Dr. Abraham Manalo, UP NCPAG, contributing to governance and public sector innovation
• Patrick Bolaños, The Asia Foundation, working on digital trust and inclusive technology
• Joseph Daniel Ferido, Blackwall Industries, offering private sector leadership in innovation

Guiding the discussion is none another than Atty. Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, Convenor, Philippine ICT Innovation Network.

Because beyond technology, strong policy foundations will determine how far AI can go.

We look forward to having you join us in this dialogue!

Catch our first panel tomorrow: "AI in the Real World: Adoption Barriers and Breakthroughs for MSMEs".

From policy to startups to real MSME experience, this conversation brings together voices on what is actually working and what still needs to change.

Featuring:
• Evelyn Wong, Policy Director at AVPN, a regional network driving impact investing and innovation across Asia
• Atty. Eva Marie Mariquina, Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), supporting Philippine enterprises in global markets
• Andrew Cua, CEO of SnapSpend AI, building AI-powered accounting solutions for MSMEs
• Joey Zapanta, MSME beneficiary, sharing firsthand experience in adopting AI in business

If you want to understand how AI is being adopted on the ground, this is where it starts.
