The resilience of the Philippines’ power grid and energy infrastructure will take center stage at the upcoming i4C.PH 2026: Resilience Reimagined, which will hold its Grid & Energy Resilience Summit in Clark, Pampanga, in September.

The summit will be held from Sept. 15 to 17 at the SMX Convention Center Clark in Clark City, Mabalacat, Pampanga, bringing together stakeholders from the energy, critical infrastructure, security, technology, government, and crisis management sectors.

The Grid & Energy Resilience Summit will focus on strengthening the ability of power and energy systems to withstand and recover from disruptions, including natural disasters, infrastructure failures, security incidents, and cyber threats.

The summit forms part of the broader i4C.PH 2026 “Resilience Reimagined” initiative, which brings together physical security, cybersecurity, crisis resilience, and digital trust as interconnected areas of resilience.

As electricity networks become increasingly dependent on digital technologies and interconnected systems, cybersecurity has also become an important consideration in maintaining the reliability and continuity of energy infrastructure.

The event will provide a platform for government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, technology providers, security professionals, and other stakeholders to discuss preparedness, response, continuity, and recovery amid potential disruptions.

The Grid & Energy Resilience Summit will also be supported by Scam Watch Pilipinas, an anti-scam education campaign, as part of the event’s multi-sector approach to cybersecurity awareness and cyber resilience.

The wider i4C.PH 2026 program will also feature activities focused on integrated security and crisis preparedness, including simulations and discussions on how organizations can respond to real-world disruptions and emergencies.

i4C.PH 2026 highlights five areas under its resilience framework: integrated security, crisis resilience, digital trust, stronger collaboration, and a resilient Philippines.
