SM Supermalls powers Filipina-led tech startups with She Loves Tech partnership

SM Supermalls, together with She Loves Tech, QBO Innovation Hub, and Ideaspace Ventures Inc., empowered ten Filipina-led tech startups to showcase their innovative and impactful business models last August 2, 2024, Friday, in the Philippine finals of She Loves Tech 2024, held at SM Aura’s Samsung Hall.

She Loves Tech 2024 Philippines winners Unprude and Farmtri will represent the country in the competition’s Regional Finals in Singapore, competing against other women-founded startups from Southeast Asia.

She Loves Tech, a Singapore-based startup accelerator also led and founded by three women, has made supporting and launching women-led businesses their main focus since 2015. This advocacy brought along the establishment of the world’s largest startup competition for women and tech with the same name.

She Loves Tech co-founder Leanne Robers shares the importance of women-led innovation and the importance of championing women in male-dominated industries such as tech.

This year’s finalists come from varying industries, including agri-tech, health and wellness, PWD communications, and more. From this selection of outstanding businesses, Unprude and Farmtri were chosen to represent the Philippines in Regional Finals, which will be held in Singapore later this year.
