Reflecting on the productive journey of 2023, the local startup community in Naga City seized abundant opportunities, growth, and expansion!

To celebrate the accomplishments for the year, the Naga City Startups Year-End Assembly & 2024 Preview was held on December 7, 2023, at Tiger’s Cafe, Magsaysay Avenue. It was the perfect time to bring together everyone in the startup ecosystem and revisit the experiences shared, problems encountered, and goals achieved.

Naga City remains steadfast in its commitment to sustaining the growth of local startups and help generate positive impacts in the community. As we anticipate the coming year, 2024 promises to be even more vibrant, implementing programs to support the city’s innovators.
