The Alibaba Netpreneur Masterclass (Philippine Edition) is a flagship entrepreneur training programme under Alibaba Global Initiatives, designed to equip business leaders with practical insights into digital transformation, platform strategy, and global market expansion.
The programme provides participants with direct exposure to Alibaba’s operating philosophies, platform-driven growth models, and lessons from building and scaling technology-enabled businesses at global scale. By combining global expertise with local ecosystem collaboration, the programme strengthened connections between Philippine entrepreneurs and international digital leaders, while reinforcing Gobi and GUIDE’s shared commitment to founder education, capability building, and long-term ecosystem development in the Philippines.
Programme Format
The programme was complemented by in-person opening and closing ceremonies in the Philippines, creating opportunities for community building, partner engagement, and local ecosystem connection. As the main organiser of the Philippine leg of the programme, Gobi Partners led programme coordination and ecosystem mobilisation.
Target Audience
The programme was designed for entrepreneurs, founders, and C-suite executives from the Philippines who are leading growth-stage companies or established businesses seeking to scale through digital platforms and cross-border opportunities. The Philippine edition engaged 187 entrepreneurs and senior business leaders, alongside more than 30 community partners and co-organisers, including ecosystem builders, industry organisations, and innovation stakeholders.
