Coinciding with the third anniversary of the Open TBI, the event also featured 11 out of its
15 start-ups, which exhibited their technology solutions before the media and the Mabalacat

Wilkonec Incorporated, BizAlliance, Itemhound, Basecamp Technologies, Version 791
Incorporated, Auberon, Solutions and SerBizyo.
During the session, the locators were engaged in more detailed one-on-one consultations

Likened to California’s Silicon Valley, the Open-TBI startups include R&D companies,
Information Technology firms, software developers, online business support services, web

TRC business locators in Mabalacat are composed of product manufacturers and
