Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. (AEV) is a Philippine holding company based in Metro Manila,[1] with roots from Cebu City.[2] The conglomerate operates in six major industries: Power, Banking and Financial Services, Food, Infrastructure, and Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.[3] In 2017, the company was ranked 1793rd on the Forbes Global 2000.[4] In 2022, AEV ventured into transforming its organization into a "Techglomerate" - a faster, stronger, and better version of a conglomerate.[5] A techglomerate can refer to a startup tech company that has grown into a conglomerate or a legacy conglomerate that has used technology and startup culture to radically transform the way it behaves and operates. AEV is the latter of the two.[6]
