Investor Reception & Startup Showcase
Overview
Welcome to the Investor Reception & Startup Showcase!
We are thrilled to invite you to this exciting event happening at the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco on December 18, 2025 at 11:45 AM (Pacific Time).
Come join us for a day filled with innovative ideas, networking, and collaborations.
Startups defining tomorrow’s tech landscape are increasingly focused on deep tech, applied AI, and the physical-world systems that make economies run. Rather than chasing only consumer apps, this cohort is targeting structural problems—modernizing energy systems, automating scientific work, hardening mobility infrastructure, and improving healthcare delivery with software and data. The common thread is pragmatic ambition: build defensible technology that delivers measurable gains in efficiency, safety, and outcomes.
EnergyX is positioning itself as an intelligent infrastructure company, using AI and advanced software to optimize energy management across manufacturing and real estate and, in turn, contribute to a more efficient and resilient power grid (www.energyx.ai). Able Labs Inc. sits at the high-value intersection of biotech and robotics, aiming to automate lab processes in ways that could increase throughput, reduce error rates, and accelerate discovery—exactly where life-sciences organizations are willing to pay for productivity (ablelabsinc.com). In mobility, bitsensing is differentiated by its focus on advanced sensor technology, a foundational layer for smart vehicles and autonomous systems where reliability and performance matter as much as novelty (www.bitsensing.com).
Healthcare and AI show up repeatedly because the ROI is clear when solutions move beyond pilots. MediSapiens appears oriented toward AI-driven healthcare applications—likely diagnostics or personalized treatment—aligned with investor interest in clinically relevant, data-powered platforms (www.medysapiens.com). Soldoc Co., Ltd. is tackling the operational backbone of healthcare with software that targets workflow efficiency, a proven wedge in markets where administrative friction is pervasive and costly (www.soldoc.co.kr). Meraki Place, via its my-doctor.io platform, is leaning into consumer-facing access and navigation, competing on convenience and reach in a sector that still under-delivers on user experience (my-doctor.io).
On the pure biotech side, VSPharmTech is developing novel pharmaceutical technologies—higher risk, but potentially high upside if the science translates and the IP is durable (www.vspharmtech.com). DAREEsoft is a more direct AI play, likely building enterprise-focused models or specialized agents, aiming to capture value where AI can be operationalized into repeatable business processes rather than demos (www.dareesoft.com). For digital entertainment, Verse of Work (Versework) is building in the overlap of gaming and the creator economy, where platform winners tend to emerge from strong tooling, distribution, and network effects rather than content alone (versework.co.kr). Finally, Eflow is operating at the intersection of energy and manufacturing, focusing on industrial clean-energy applications—an area where adoption often follows clear cost-down or regulatory-driven incentives, and where engineering execution is the real differentiator (www.eflow.kr).
