Tagum City, the heart of Davao del Norte, has been purposefully selected as the venue for MTEx2025 to symbolize a powerful transformation—from a place once impacted by financial misinformation to a rising hub of innovation, financial literacy, and digital trust.

Strategically located in Southern Mindanao, Tagum is highly accessible to participants from Davao Region, Caraga, Agusan, Bukidnon, and nearby provinces, making it an ideal convergence point for traders, students, and tech communities.

What sets Tagum apart is not just its facilities—but its renewed commitment to transparency, innovation, and inclusive growth. By hosting MTEx2025 here, we aim to reclaim the narrative and ignite a legacy of ethical finance, youth empowerment, and collaborative innovation across Mindanao.
