Keepital Philippines brings together six of the country’s most promising startups, and a powerhouse IP institution, for a dedicated showcase at the World of Consumer Electronics Expo this August.
The World of Consumer Electronics Expo (WOCEE) has long been the Philippines’ most significant gathering of technology companies, manufacturers, and industry decision-makers. This August 5 to 8 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, it returns with more than 33,200 expected visitors, over 110 exhibitors, and 15,000 square meters of exhibit space. This year, Keepital Philippines is adding a new dimension to the expo. Under the dedicated Startup Pavilion, Keepital is bringing six carefully selected startups to the WOCEE floor and providing each one a curated platform to present their products, connect with buyers and investors, and reach the scale they deserve.
The Exhibitors
Ateneo Intellectual Property Office (AIPO)
Anchoring the pavilion is the Ateneo de Manila University’s Intellectual Property Office, an institution dedicated to fostering innovation, research commercialization, and startup development within one of the Philippines’ most respected academic ecosystems. (aipo.ateneo.edu)
KLARO
KLARO is a sales and inventory platform built for cooperatives and small Filipino businesses that still run on handwritten logbooks. Its AI-powered OCR engine photographs a logbook and extracts line items, quantities, and totals in under 30 seconds, feeding the results into a dashboard that gives agri-terminals and consolidation hubs real-time visibility over volumes, buyer accounts, and payment status. With partners including the Nueva Vizcaya Agricultural Terminal, Quezon City’s Pangkabuhayang Program, and Ateneo BUILD already on board, KLARO represents a compelling intersection of AI capability and real-economy application.

a11y media
Formerly known as Wika, a11y media is a Filipino startup working for the social and economic inclusion of people with disabilities, democratizing accessibility for the deaf, hard of hearing, and Filipino Sign Language (FSL) interpreters through assistive content such as sign language videos, captions, and audio descriptions. Co-founded in 2018, a11y’s platform functions similarly to YouTube but exclusively for accessible content, and empowers anyone to upload their own sign language videos and captions, with 70% of FSL interpreters on the platform being women.The only Philippine startup selected out of 800 applicants across Asia for the Real Madrid Next Accelerator, a11y arrives at WOCEE with both global recognition and a mission that sits at the intersection of technology and genuine social impact.

Domantay Consulting
Not every pavilion participant is a tech product company, and that is precisely the point. Founded in 2018, Domantay Consulting (DC Digital) is a holistic digital consultancy offering public relations, social media management, digital marketing, and creative multimedia production. A cross-generational team of PR, media, marketing, and fine arts professionals, DC Digital brings something every technology company eventually needs at WOCEE: the expertise to communicate what they build in a way the market can actually hear.

Vaura
Vaura enters the pavilion as an AI-powered content engine built for businesses that need to produce content at scale without sacrificing quality or brand consistency. In a market where content demand is outpacing the capacity of most in-house teams, Vaura offers a smarter production pipeline where it generates output that is faster to produce and easier to manage across channels. At WOCEE, Vaura’s presence speaks directly to the exhibitors, distributors, and brand teams on the floor who are looking for more efficient ways to keep their content working as hard as their products do.

BetterClinic
BetterClinic is an AI ambient scribe built for medical practitioners: it listens during a consultation and automatically generates SOAP notes, prescriptions, medical certificates, PhilHealth claims abstracts, and ICD-10/RVS coding. No EHR, no setup, no typing required. Its transcription engine handles mixed-language speech, local medication names, and the accents and dialects Filipino patients bring into the room, and is built in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act. For a country with a large and geographically dispersed medical workforce, a tool that runs on a smartphone and requires no institutional integration is not a luxury but a practical necessity.

SOFI AI
SOFI AI automates customer engagement for Philippine SMEs, most of which rely on Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, and comment sections to drive sales. Its platform delivers 24/7 chat responses, smart sales assistance, multilingual support, and automated data collection across Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, Telegram, and more, adapting to each brand’s tone and personality. A member of the NVIDIA Inception Program and a selected participant in Google for Startups, SOFI AI brings a proposition at WOCEE that is immediately relevant to the SME owners, brand managers, and distributors walking the expo floor.

The Startup Pavilion is a deliberate cross-section of where Philippine technology is heading. AI applied to agriculture, healthcare, customer engagement, brand communications, workforce development, and the infrastructure beneath all of it. What WOCEE provides is the kind of audience that normally takes years to reach. The pavilion compresses that timeline.
For anyone attending WOCEE this August, the Startup Pavilion is worth the detour. Come with questions. The founders will be there to answer them.
