Winston Damarillo, CEO and founder of Talino Venture Studios and BayaniPay, said that this event was an important milestone for the Philippines as the country took center stage at this year's San Francisco (SF) Tech Week, where cutting-edge solutions aimed at mitigating climate risks were unveiled.
"The Philippines is uniquely positioned to lead in climate resilience innovations, having experienced the impacts of climate change firsthand. Developing solutions to anticipate future challenges is crucial, and by integrating technology, education and government initiatives, we are creating scalable solutions that can benefit both the Philippines and the world," Damarillo said.
The SF Tech Week event brought together a diverse group of policymakers, climate tech entrepreneurs, impact investors and sustainability experts to discuss how deep tech and AI can mitigate climate risks, particularly in the Philippines, one of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries.
Two fireside chats were featured, focusing on strategies and actionable steps for climate risk management and technology commercialization.
