Maoi ArroyoFounder & CEO |
The Philippines has been the underachiever of South East Asia – a country teeming with potential, from the talent of its people to its stunning biodiversity. In this talk, serial entrepreneur Maoi Arroyo discusses how a boutique consulting firm she founded has worked with academia, government, investors, corporations, and startups to push innovations where they can make the most impact. Specializing in “inclusive innovations”, Hybridigm Consulting, focuses on combining technology, business, and community development to increase average household net worth in a country where 85% of people live on less than $5 PPP. Her firm is now transforming into a startup studio and fund dedicated to eradicating poverty in the Philippines in a decade.
This session of “Entrepreneurship in Asian High-Tech Industries” is
produced in cooperation with the Science & Technology Advisory Council – Silicon Valley (STAC-SV)
