About Makati City

Known for its skyscrapers and massive shopping malls, Makati City sits in the Manila metropolitan region and is the country's financial hub. This is a first-class highly urbanized city with the highest concentration of local and multinational corporations in the country. Think big banks, corporations and foreign embassies, plus the trading floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange, all calling this city home. It's where you can leisurely meander around the Ayala Triangle Gardens with its incredible sculptures and lush trees, hang out in the Ayala Museum or check out the Rizal Monument proudly standing as a memorial to the national hero, José Rizal. With a resident population of about 582,602, this number swells during a typical work-day to about 3.7 million souls intent on shopping, working or doing business creating traffic chaos during rush hour times. Makati City is littered with educational institutions including numerous universities spawning tech savvy youth that have a penchant for hanging out in coworking venues in creative mode.

The Philippines has seen an unprecedented rise in the number of new and innovative businesses led by ambitious young entrepreneurs. The private sector is supporting startups with investment, creating incubation programs and providing mentorship. The government has launched numerous initiatives and is laying out plans to foster its startup community. Now that the country has a more stable socio-political system, more businesses have been attracted to its shores.

With high mobile usage rates and a large English-speaking population, the Philippines startup scene may be young but it is thriving and with the advent of coworking venues it's believed that it will help to create a culture of collaboration and support.
