Shell Pilipinas Corp. has launched the 2025 edition of its flagship enterprise development initiative, Shell LiveWire Philippines, aimed at identifying and accelerating high-potential local startups and community-driven enterprises.
The program, which seeks to foster innovation and inclusive growth, invites applications from micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and social ventures working across energy, environment, circular economy, and community development.
Special focus will be given to women-led businesses, youth groups, cooperatives, and agriculture-based enterprises adopting sustainable technologies.
Since its launch in 2020, Shell LiveWire Philippines has supported more than 130 local enterprises out of over 800 applicants, generating over 800 jobs and integrating 14 startups into Shell’s own supply chain.
Participants receive business mentorship, capital access, and opportunities to scale their operations through exposure and corporate partnerships.
“The program not only enables market access and funding but also enhances the social and economic impact of grassroots innovations,” Shell Pilipinas said.
Applications for the 2025 cohort are open until May 31 via Shell’s official LiveWire portal.
Shell Pilipinas, which has operated in the country for over a century, continues to invest in community development through programs on energy access, education, and livelihood under its Pilipinas Shell Foundation.
