The Philippines’ leading business reality show, The Final Pitch, is taking a bold leap forward with a two-pronged expansion strategy: venturing into the international arena while simultaneously deepening its roots in the Philippines through regional expansion.
Dubai, a vibrant hub for innovation and investment, will be the launchpad for The Final Pitch’s international ambitions. This global edition promises to open doors for entrepreneurs across the UAE and the Middle East. The show is actively seeking international judges, startup participants, investor judges, business partners, and sponsors during their visit from October 16 to 22, 2024.
Founder and host of The Final Pitch, John Aguilar, expressed his enthusiasm about the show’s global ambitions. “This is a great opportunity to expand the reach of The Final Pitch beyond the Philippines and create a globally recognized platform for entrepreneurs,” said Aguilar. “We envision this as our first step to producing a Philippine-born show that caters to the international market, and Dubai, being a hub of innovation and investment, is the perfect starting point.”
In addition to its international expansion, The Final Pitch is also committed to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship within the Philippines. Recognizing the untapped potential of startups outside Metro Manila, The Final Pitch will be expanding its reach to key provinces. The goal is to elevate emerging startups from various regions by providing them with a platform to secure investments, business opportunities, and access to markets.
“This two-pronged approach of going international while expanding locally will allow us to create a broader and deeper impact,” said Aguilar. “We are committed to fostering the growth of startups not just in Metro Manila but in the provinces, where there is immense untapped potential.”
The provincial expansion will kick off with The Final Pitch: Cebu this November, partnering with the renowned tech and startup conference, Geeks on a Beach. Future editions will target key provinces like Davao, Bataan, Iloilo, Bacolod, and other emerging regional hubs.
