With the COVID-19 pandemic drastically changing the way people live, work, and do their business, technology has played an important part in helping everyone adjust to the new normal, as well as paving the way for startups and businesses to rethink their strategies to offer innovative services and solve challenges in the real world.
In order to help local startups adapt to the changes and thrive in these challenging times, Google calls all Filipino entrepreneurs and business innovators to join Google for Startups Accelerator: Southeast Asia – a three-month accelerator program that will run from August 11 to November 12, 2020.
The program gathers tech startups from all over Southeast Asia, including the Philippines. These are the enterprises looking to develop tech-driven solutions for the challenges the public faces today – especially in healthcare, education, finance, and logistics.
