Raises the Philippine flag in the global community as homegrown Filipino fintech member
The Void is not synonymous with stagnation; rather, it's a fertile ground for exploration and discovery. By understanding and embracing the Void, creatives can liberate themselves from the constraints of expectation and perfectionism. This liberation becomes a catalyst for fresh ideas, enabling a departure from the ordinary and a journey into uncharted territories of innovation.
Navigating the Void requires a willingness to confront uncertainty and silence the noise of external influences. It's a practice in mindfulness and self-discovery—a journey into the depths of one's own thoughts and emotions. In this solitude, creatives often find the raw materials for groundbreaking concepts, discovering connections and patterns that were previously obscured.
The process of engaging with the Void is not about avoiding challenges but transforming them into opportunities. It encourages a shift in perspective, viewing obstacles not as roadblocks but as stepping stones to innovation. By understanding 'the Void' as a realm of potential, creatives unlock the door to their most authentic and impactful work, revealing the beauty that emerges when the creative spirit is allowed to roam freely. In essence, the Void becomes not an abyss to be feared, but a sanctuary where creativity thrives, and our most brilliant ideas come to life.
The Philippines has been invited to join the prestigious World Economic Forum (WEF) Unicorn Community, a sub-community of the WEF’s Innovator Communities comprising the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups. Seen as a recognition of the rapid advancement of financial inclusion and fintech growth in the country, the WEF invitation was extended directly to Mynt, the parent company of GCash, the nation’s leading finance super app.
Mynt brings its vision of Finance for All to global business leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers, as the first and only Philippine member of the WEF Unicorn Community.
The World Economic Forum is a leading organization shaping global economic policies and fostering collaborative solutions through public-private cooperation – connecting communities of leaders around international issues.
Its Innovator Communities are a group of the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups at the forefront of technological and business model innovation.
By being part of the Unicorn Community, GCash will have the opportunity to contribute to a global agenda on how financial technology (fintech) can help advance financial inclusion in countries like the Philippines.
“We are honored to be part of the World Economic Forum Unicorns Community— representing the Philippines and its booming Fintech industry. This reflects our commitment to transforming financial services in our country and contributing to global financial inclusion and innovation conversations. We look forward to engaging with other leaders and exploring new ways to drive positive change,”
said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of Mynt.
Established in 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland, WEF also builds communities of purpose essential to addressing large-scale global challenges, converting ambition into focused action through structured multi-year initiatives and insight generation.
This year’s annual forum will be held at the Davos-Klosters in Switzerland from January 20 to January 24, gathering thousands of key leaders from both public and private sectors. The central idea for this year’s meeting is about “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age.”
As it continues to champion “Finance for All”, GCash banners its game-changing innovation aimed at bridging financial gaps beyond the nation’s borders and helping improve Filipinos’ everyday lives.
