Beijing, China — The Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Beijing (PTIC-Beijing) of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) actively participated in the 3rd China International New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Supply Chain Conference and Going Global Forum on 21 February 2025, showcasing the Philippines’ competitive advantages in the global electric vehicle (EV) industry. 

As part of its mission to attract foreign investments and strengthen the country’s role in the NEV supply chain, PTIC-Beijing highlighted the Philippines’ strengths in green metals, electronics, the growing market, and software capabilities (GEMS), backed by a young and large population — key factors that position the country as a strategic partner for sustainable mobility solutions. 

“The ‘GEMS’ strategy leverages the country’s abundant supply of green metals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt, strengths in electronics manufacturing and software development, and access to both local and global markets, aiming to establish the Philippines as a regional hub for electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturing and assembly,” said PTIC-Beijing Commercial Counsellor Glenn Peñaranda. 

During the event, PTIC-Beijing engaged with industry leaders, investors, and key stakeholders, generating significant interest in battery charging systems and value-added services for smart vehicles. This provided a valuable opportunity for the Philippines to present its investment-friendly environment through the various preferential policies covering tariffs, foreign ownership, and tax incentives that the country offers. 

The Philippines’ participation at the conference demonstrated its commitment to supporting green and digital transformation in the automotive industry and deepen connection with China in the NEV sector. ♦
