Celebrating not only music and culture but also business and innovation! ⚡️
Last May 30, 2025, &FRIENDS presented the Inner Circle Summit, organized by Clout Kitchen and supported by the Singapore Global Network (SGN). The event has brought together 200+ leading entrepreneurs, investors and executives across SEA and the US. It was a day full of insights shared through 9 panel discussions, sharing ideas about the future of the region, AI, fintech and consumer brands.
Learning from these experts is highly valuable not only for newcomers to the startup ecosystem but also for those already immersed in it and looking to expand their knowledge. The day was filled with rich exchanges of experience — going beyond personal anecdotes — because real-world lessons are where entrepreneurs gain the most insight.
It was also an opportunity to grow alongside peers from other startup ecosystems. Hearing from panelists based outside the Philippines was especially insightful, offering perspectives from international markets and practical lessons that can be adapted to strengthen local practices.
One of our portfolio ventures, DOON Philippines, has also showcased their services during the expo! Guests were able to learn more about DOON. Huge congratulations to the team!
Until the next &FRIENDS Festival Manila!
