Philippines - 4 September, 2024 - Recently, an esteemed panel of industry moguls, high-profile investors, and top-tier government representatives convened at the National Chengchi University for the notable FIP-NCC Investment Forum. This significant event, orchestrated by Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI), primarily focused on promoting New Clark City and its Filinvest Innovation Park (FIP-NCC) as the top-tier investment locales for Taiwanese enterprises in the Philippines.
The forum was remarkable not only for its celebrated speakers but also for their contributions to the discourse on the investment environment in the Philippines. The proceedings began with a powerful keynote address by Silvestre H. Bello III, Chairman and Resident Representative of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office. Following him, Terry Lin, Investment Officer of the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Taipei, elucidated the diverse and rich investment opportunities burgeoning in the Philippines.

Tristan Las Marias, president and CEO of Filinvest Land Inc., articulated a compelling vision of Filinvest Development Corporation, the mother conglomerate. He spoke about nurturing communities and designing workspaces that not only propel economic growth but are also steadfast in their commitment to sustainable development. During a detailed post-forum interview, Las Marias re-emphasized the intrinsic connection between economic progression and environmental sustainability. He showcased projects like Filinvest New Clark City and the Filinvest Innovation Park as prime examples of sustainability integrated with economic vitality, purporting a new benchmark for development.
Francis Ceballos, SVP at Filinvest Land, provided a deeper dive into the specifics of both Filinvest New Clark City and the Filinvest Innovation Park during the forum. He highlighted the strategic positioning, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and attractive investment incentives that make these projects appealing to potential investors.

The Filinvest Innovation Park - New Clark City (FIP-NCC) stands as a beacon for international investors seeking strategic opportunities in Southeast Asia. Its prime location, world-class infrastructure seamlessly connecting to Manila, the Port of Subic, the Clark International Airport, and other parts of Luzon via SCTEX, NLEX, Skyway, and SLEX make it an ideal destination for companies aiming to expand their global footprint. FIP-NCC offers a seamless blend of modern industrial facilities, sustainability, and resilience, underscored by its Grade-A ready-built factories (RBFs) and flexible industrial lots.

The forum sparked considerable interest among the attendees, many of whom were eager to discuss further the investment opportunities laid out in New Clark City and FIP-NCC. Post forum, the Filinvest delegation, in a bid to foster deeper international ties and collaboration, engaged in several high-level meetings and institutional visits. These included notable engagements with the Taipei City Government and prominent corporate visits which served to strengthen business relationships.
In addition, the delegation embarked on a study tour at the Kaohsiung Linhai Industrial Park, which provided significant insight into best operational practices that could be mirrored in their initiatives. This experience was pivotal in underscoring Filinvest Land Inc.'s commitment to adopting international best practices and fostering a conducive environment for global collaboration and investment.
FIP-NCC itself, a 120-hectare industrial development within the sprawling 288-hectare smart, resilient, and mixed-use metropolis known as Filinvest New Clark City, is positioned as a joint venture between FLI and BCDA.
