Converge ICT Solutions Inc. Co-Founder and CEO Dennis Anthony H. Uy has been appointed chairman of the 51st Philippine Business Conference & Expo (PBC&E), the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) announced. The event, set for October 2025, will highlight discussions on digital connectivity and transformation in the country.
PCCI President Enunina V. Mangio confirmed Uy’s appointment following a unanimous resolution during the chamber’s first board meeting in January 2025, “We are honored he (Dennis Uy) accepted our invitation to lead the conference this year. He will be ably guided and supported by the Conference Organizing Committee in implementing his plans and agenda for the conference.”
Uy, who also serves as PCCI’s Director for IT and Telco, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. “I am honored to be appointed by the country’s biggest business group as Chairman of this conference. This annual gathering of industry leaders is a crucial time to exchange ideas, drive innovation, and shape the future of Philippine business. Moreover, it’s the chance to interface with the government, which has always been a staunch partner of ours. I look forward to meaningful dialogue and discussion that will move our nation forward,” Uy said. He emphasized the importance of engaging with government agencies to craft policies that foster digital transformation and infrastructure development.
A strong advocate for digital inclusivity, Uy underscored the need to expand quality connectivity to small businesses and households nationwide. “I have always believed that access to quality connectivity is not a privilege of a few, but a necessity for all. We must take discussions on digital transformation seriously because, by 2030, the entire world will be digitally connected. The Philippines needs to leap-frog and embrace technological advancements that will ultimately uplift the lives of many. But before we get there, we need to address the foundation, which is connectivity for all, no matter where they are or their demographic. We must make sure we leave no one behind,” Uy added.
Under Uy’s leadership, Converge ICT has become a key player in the Philippine broadband industry. Before launching Converge in 2007, Uy pioneered cable and Internet services in Central Luzon through ComClark Network and Technology Corporation. In 2024, PCCI recognized him as a “Nation-Builder” for his contributions to ICT and digital infrastructure.
The PBC&E is one of the country’s most significant business events, gathering top government officials, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs for policy discussions, networking, and business development opportunities.
