Proposed budget for E-Government, Digital Infrastructure & Cybersecurity $304 Million
GOVX.0 Philippines Summit Fuelled by a strong 2026 national budget and reinforced by global funding support, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is fast-tracking large-scale adoption of cloud platforms, intelligent data ecosystems and seamlessly integrated government operations. This is not a phase of gradual change — it marks a high-growth moment for technology innovators ready to scale impact.
Taking place on 5 – 6 May 2026, the second edition of GOVX.0 Philippines, organised by Tradepass, opens the gateway to this rapidly expanding opportunity. The platform will convene 600+ senior officials and decision-makers from National Government Agencies and key Local Government Units, creating a focused environment to explore emerging technologies, address critical challenges and build powerful, long-term partnerships with solution providers.
At the heart of GOVX.0 lies a high-impact conference agenda curated to shape the future of digital governance in the Philippines. The programme showcases exclusive keynote addresses, compelling fireside conversations, and in-depth panel discussions that unpack the most pressing and forward-looking topics shaping the public sector today.
These insight-rich sessions are led by the country’s most respected public sector leaders, policymakers, innovators, and thought leaders – visionaries whose expertise and real-world experience deliver actionable knowledge, spark inspiration, and set new benchmarks for e-Governance.
