Philippines Proposes AI Startup Incentives

Gobi Partners released a report in 2026 suggesting the Philippines adopt AI-native one-person corporations to replace dried-up Series A capital. The proposal recommends tax breaks under the 20 per cent corporate income tax rate and expanding the Startup Venture Fund, which previously invested 16.7 million pesos in 2024, to support solo founders as traditional funding drops 64.5 per cent.
