Tech transforming Philippine travel and aviation

Today, technology is decisively changing that narrative. iWave Inc., a 35-year-old subsidiary of Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE)-listed DFNN Inc., is positioning itself at the forefront of this transformation. From check-in counters to boarding gates, biometric verification and contactless processing are reshaping the global airport experience.

Building on this momentum, iWave has expanded beyond its traditional tech domains into aviation, travel, and border control—sectors where digital reliability and mission-critical operations translate directly into economic value. As part of its long-term diversification strategy, iWave has entered this space, where systems must operate with near-zero tolerance for failure.
