                    [Summary] => 



The Philippines should stimulate its local software industry, via Software Venture Fund idea otherwise it would be a terrible loss if the Philippine software industry fails to capitalize on it.


Winston Damarillo, a venture capitalist and chairman and co-founder of Exist Global Inc., a software engineering service company, believes that new approach in Venture Capital (VC) concept in the Philippines should be adopted in order to maximize the "high-caliber" Filipino talents in software development.

Jack Madrid, one of the founders of iAyala company, said it is difficult to push VC concept in the Philippines because of the underdeveloped R&D industry for IT.

This according to Filipino technologist and IT expert Dennis Ramon Posadas during his talk in the recently culminated three-day 2nd Cebu ICT Strategy Summit.


"I see extraordinary talents here. Why are they not competing with the rest of the world? A venture capital concept must be organized to nurture and make your talents' invention profitable in the world," Posadas said.
