Dedicated to logistics innovation, the venture studio aims to incubate promising tech solutions that reduce logistics costs and enhance operational efficiency.

FAST Logistics Group, the country’s leading end-to-end logistics company, has launched the Philippines’ first venture studio dedicated to logistics innovation.

The newly unveiled Revv-EVODINE Venture Studio is set to create value innovation and tackle interoperability challenges in Philippine logistics and supply chain. With a focus on leveraging artificial intelligence for forecasting, automation, and digital freight matching, among others, the initiative aims to enhance operational efficiency and reduce logistics costs for businesses across the country.

FAST CEO for Logistics Manuel L. Onrejas Jr. emphasized the venture studio’s mission to foster technological breakthroughs that optimize supply chains and empower Filipino businesses.

“At FAST, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in Philippine logistics. Through Revv-EVODINE, we are creating a platform where promising ideas evolve into real-world solutions and scalable ventures, guided by an evidence-based, outcome-driven approach,” said Onrejas.

The venture studio, he said, would leverage FAST’s over 50 years of industry leadership, extensive warehouse network and transport capabilities, and best-in-class tech infrastructure to provide real-world testing environments for validating and refining solutions.

Noting that Revv-EVODINE expands FAST’s innovation portfolio, Onrejas said the venture studio allows FAST to transform the industry while addressing customer needs.

Empowering Teams to Innovate and Scale

During the launch, FAST Group President William B. Chiongbian II described the Revv-EVODINE Venture Studio as a “launchpad for innovators and entrepreneurs so they can make the greatest impact.”

“This means access to mentorship and real-world sandbox environments to ensure that promising solutions move from concept to execution,” he said.

“Ultimately, our aspiration is that the ideas we incubate here do not remain just ideas, but become scalable, transformative solutions for our countrymen,” Chiongbian added.

FAST VP for Strategic Growth Initiatives Gladys S. Ceniza, who is also Revv-EVODINE’s Chief Visionary Officer, said the venture studio will incubate ideas from FAST’s internal teams, igniting innovation across all levels of the organization and empowering internal talent to become the next generation of venture leaders.

Revv-EVODINE will also champion groundbreaking ideas from young entrepreneurs outside the organization, including those recognized by FAST during the recent Philippine Startup Week.

Each startup founder will receive Php1 million worth of in-kind support, including executive mentorship and coaching, office space, shuttle service, back-office support, and one-year subscription to venture-building tools, among other perks.

They will also join an intensive 16-week incubation sprint to validate their technology, refine their business models, and accelerate their market readiness.

Revv-EVODINE aims to launch four scalable ventures that will drive significant efficiency savings across the supply chain industry.
