Taipei, Taiwan — Filinvest Land Inc. and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), in partnership with MECO, successfully held “Powering Innovation: Investment Opportunities in Clark” on April 25, 2025, at the Howard Hotel in Taipei. The forum brought together Taiwanese conglomerates, trade representatives, and key stakeholders from sectors such as light manufacturing, semiconductors, solar, and renewable energy, with the goal of exploring investment opportunities in one of the Philippines’ most ambitious and future-ready developments—Clark.
BCDA President and CEO Engr. Joshua M. Bingcang led the forum with a compelling presentation on the growing competitiveness of Clark as a destination for global industry. He underscored the area’s world-class infrastructure, multi-modal connectivity via Clark International Airport and Subic Port, and the vast opportunities in 뉴 클락 시티, a 9,450-hectare smart, green metropolis in the making. This is also where Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City (FIP-NCC) is strategically located—at the heart of the Luzon Economic Corridor.
Dr. Ceferino “Perry” Rodolfo, Undersecretary of the Department of Trade and Industry, elaborated on the CREATE MORE Act, an enhanced tax incentive program designed to attract high-value, innovation-driven foreign investments. Key features include:
Long-term income tax holidays
Enhanced deductions for R&D, labor, and training
Clear and streamlined approval processes
Greater policy predictability and support for ecozone locators
Representing Filinvest, Mr. Francis Ceballos, Senior Vice President, introduced Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City as the “ready now” industrial zone, already home to pioneering investors such as StB GIGA, the Philippines’ first LFP battery manufacturer. He emphasized FIP-NCC’s strategic appeal to semiconductor and electronics firms, EV battery and solar component manufacturers, and logistics operators looking for scalable, plug-and-play solutions in the region.
With its robust infrastructure, PEZA accreditation, and future-forward planning, FIP-NCC presents a compelling option for Taiwanese firms aiming to de-risk their operations, diversify regionally, and access the fast-growing ASEAN market.

The StB GIGA Factory, a pioneering development in electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing as the first Lithium Iron Phosphate plant in the Philippines, was officially inaugurated within the first two Ready-Built Factory (RBF) units of the 120-hectare Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City (FIP-NCC). Poised to be a green and digital industrial hub for light to medium manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, cold chain operations, and data centers, FIP-NCC represents the future of sustainable industry in the Philippines.
This highly anticipated event brought together top executives from Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC), the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), and StB Capital Partners (StB GIGA’s mother company in Australia), as well as Australian Ambassador Hae Kyong “HK” Yu, the heads of local government, and President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., who led the momentous occasion.
A Milestone for Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City
The inauguration of the StB GIGA Factory not only constitutes a significant leap for renewable energy in the Philippines but also marks the emergence of Filinvest Innovation Park – New Clark City as a leading industrial hub. Offering Grade A Ready-Built Factories, and industrial lots, the park is designed to attract locators engaged in light manufacturing, electronics, e-commerce, logistics, cold chain, food, pharmaceuticals and data center-related operations. With access to a skilled, English-proficient, five million-strong workforce in the Central Luzon region, FIP-NCC is ideally positioned to support the country’s industrial transformation.

A Presidential Vision for Innovation
The event began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by President Marcos, with the latter pressing the symbolic Start button to signify start of the factory’s commercial operations. Then followed a tour of the StB GIGA Factory, where President Marcos was shown the cutting-edge, future-ready technologies employed at the facility. The President’s keynote address highlighted the significance of this investment in the EV battery sector, calling it a bold and transformative step toward a sustainable future. He lauded the swift and collaborative efforts of both public and private sectors for the rapid establishment of the factory, operating just six months after the signing of the MOU during the Philippine Business Forum in Melbourne earlier this year.
President Marcos emphasized that the StB GIGA Factory, the first Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery manufacturing plant in the Philippines, positions the country as a key player in the global clean energy movement. He projected the factory’s full operational capacity by 2030, which will generate an estimated 5 billion pesos in annual revenue and create 2,500 quality jobs. The factory is expected to produce 2 gigawatt hours of batteries annually—enough to power 18,000 EVs or over 500,000 home battery systems. The President also underscored the Philippines’ growing reputation as a hub for high-tech, high-impact investments, encouraging global entrepreneurs and industry leaders to consider the Philippines as their next investment destination.
Global and Local Partnership in Action
Trevor St. Baker, Director and Founding Partner of StB Capital Partners and Chairman of StB GIGA, warmly welcomed the distinguished guests and highlighted the rapid progress of the Philippine business landscape. In his speech, St. Baker underscored the factory’s commitment to doubling its size by 2030 , as initially pledged to the President during a business summit in Melbourne. He also shared exciting plans for expanding StB’s electric trike operations in the Philippines and bringing renewable energy solutions to more cities and islands across the country.
Ambassador HK Yu congratulated both Australia and the Philippines for fostering a strategic partnership that goes beyond country-to-country cooperation, extending into business-to-business and people-to-people collaboration. She emphasized that the StB GIGA Factory exemplifies how global partnerships can tackle critical challenges of climate change, and she commended President Marcos for his ongoing support of bilateral initiatives.

Each of the 2,500-square meter Prime RBF units is designed for logistics, e-commerce, and light manufacturing locators, with value-adding amenities such as unparalleled accessibility, a build-to-suit option for industrial facilities customization, high-tech communications, and expansive RBF infrastructure such as an eight-meter ceiling clearance, a two-bay loading dock, and three tons-per-square meter floor load capacity.
Further, the entire FIP-NCC is registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, allowing locators to enjoy tax perks, simplified import-export procedures, and visa facilitation assistance for foreign employees.
The FIP-NCC sits inside New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac – a 9,450-hectare greenfield development inside the Clark Special Economic Zone positioned to be an inclusive, resilient, sustainable, and smart city. This major metropolis is being developed to help decongest Metro Manila, and to serve as an investment hub to catalyze growth in Central and Northern Luzon.
