Global tech leader Cisco speaks at Tech Week PH Cebu, joins PLDT Enterprise in reimagining the digital landscape of the Philippines.
Cebu City, Philippines — The future of work is already unfolding with remarkable advancements, characterized by an unprecedented level of connectivity, security, and intelligence. This insightful message was conveyed by Pavel Svatos, Cisco’s APJC Leader and Partner Networking Specialist, during the second leg of Tech Week PH 2025. The event, organized by PLDT Enterprise, brought together an inspiring assembly of business leaders, tech visionaries, and public sector stakeholders to delve into the transformative power of digital innovation and how it can foster inclusive growth across various regions.
For the first time, the vibrant city of Cebu and the expansive Visayas region played host to PLDT Enterprise’s Tech Week PH 2025, emphasizing the escalating significance of regional discussions on digital transformation. The event marked a pivotal moment in PLDT Enterprise’s ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between global technology leaders and local enterprises, showcasing Cisco’s commitment to supporting PLDT’s mission of facilitating digital transformation in every corner of the nation.
In front of an audience exceeding 1,000 participants from across the Visayas, Svatos passionately articulated Cisco’s ambitious vision for shaping the workplaces and industries of the future. He highlighted the powerful convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), security, and connectivity as key drivers of this transformation. Drawing from compelling examples, he illustrated how AI is revolutionizing various sectors through applications such as intelligent customer chatbots and innovative use cases in healthcare, logistics, and even dynamic data centers on wheels.
He emphasized that companies that quickly adapt to change will emerge as leaders, while those that fail to keep pace risk falling behind in a rapidly evolving landscape. The modern workplace thrives on a secure, intelligent network that fosters seamless connectivity, implements zero-trust security measures, and enables real-time collaboration among teams. As a frontrunner in networking and security, Cisco is proud to extend its cutting-edge solutions to the Philippines.
Svatos highlighted a pressing challenge in today’s work environment: the ability to operate effectively in various settings—offices, hospitals, retail spaces, and even mobile locations—while many organizations still grapple with gaps in hybrid work, outdated infrastructure, and escalating security threats.
Cisco’s response is a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates AI-ready networking, robust cybersecurity, advanced observability, and collaborative solutions, all designed to promote digital resilience and achieve smarter business outcomes.
In partnership with tech innovators, PLDT Enterprise’s Tech Week PH showcased Tech City—an immersive experience that illuminated how next-generation technologies, including those from Cisco, can drive industries forward into a brighter, more connected future.
By inviting global experts like Cisco to engage with Visayas and Mindanao, PLDT Enterprise is taking significant strides in widening access to world-class innovation, all while reinforcing its enduring commitment to bridging the digital divide and crafting a more inclusive, future-ready Philippines.
“At Cisco, our strategy is to securely connect everything to make anything possible. We’re not just connecting people, places, apps, data and things wherever our networks can reach. We’re also protecting all of this against threats, downtime, and risk and providing the underlying digital resilience that is so crucial for businesses today,” said Zaza Soriano-Nicart, Managing Director, Cisco Philippines.
