Tougher times are upon us. Filipinos, regardless of economic status, feel the impact of high inflation rates. Apart from the economic struggles, the threat of COVID-19 remains.

At the forefront of this transformation is Aboitiz Group. From being one of the bigger local conglomerates, it is now navigating the business landscape to being the first 'techglomerate' in the country. This fairly new business term is often associated with tech giants such as Amazon, Google, and Meta. But with traditional businesses shifting to tech-first mindsets, conglomerates will soon transition to being techglomerates.
