Despite global uncertainties, economic shifts, and the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), the Philippine IT and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector remains on a strong growth trajectory. The industry generated US$38 billion in revenues in 2024 and now employs over 1.82 million Filipinos—proof of its resilience, innovation, and the country’s global competitiveness.

This standard of excellence will take center stage at Solaia 2025, the IT-BPM industry’s premier awards event, organized by the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP). Now in its second year, Solaia honors the most progressive companies, groundbreaking innovations, and transformative partnerships shaping the future of the IT-BPM sector.
