Dubbed the “National Gateway to Filipino Creativity and Business,” this digital hub serves as the technological home of the DTI B2B Marketplace online platform, designed to connect Filipino MSMEs to a broader market. At its core are three key pillars: Connect, a registry of creatives and a directory of creative industry organizations; Learn, a gateway to formal and informal learning opportunities—from workshops and seminars to masterclasses and college-level courses; and Thrive, linking entrepreneurs to funding programs from both government and private sectors—providing vital support to grow and scale creative enterprises.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748533494283DTI Food Festival 2025 poster.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>Rooted in the <a href="https://www.dti.gov.ph/news/tatak-pinoy-tatak-bagong-pilipinas/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DTI’s Tatak Pinoy Strategy Program</a>, the festival champions the rise of MSME competitiveness and digital innovation. It offers a dynamic platform to spotlight heritage-inspired food products from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao through curated exhibits, live cooking demos, and the Kayumanggi Philippine Heritage Recipe Book—a tangible tribute to beloved regional flavors. The event also highlights Iloilo City, recently named a UNESCO Creative City for Gastronomy, celebrating the depth and diversity of its cultural and culinary landscape.Designed to equip MSMEs for long-term growth, the festival features a dedicated digital collaboration zone, in partnership with leading tech providers, offering access to tools for e-commerce, logistics, digital payments, and marketing. More than a showcase, it’s a call to innovate—encouraging food entrepreneurs to blend heritage-driven product development with the power of digital platforms.The DTI Food Festival 2025 is more than a food event—it’s a national celebration of Filipino creativity and resilience. By seamlessly integrating technology and cultural identity, the festival sets the stage for MSMEs to evolve into globally competitive brands.While distinct from the National Food Fair (NFF), this event shares the DTI’s core mission: to uplift MSMEs. What sets it apart is its forward-thinking focus—immersive experiences, digital integration, and creative gastronomy—offering a fresh lens on the future of Filipino food entrepreneurship.With participants from the National Capital Region, Western Visayas (with a spotlight on Iloilo City), Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, and CALABARZON, the festival reflects its far-reaching national scope.<div>For updates and exclusive previews, follow <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DTI.BMDPO/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DTI-BMDPO</a> on Facebook.</div>
