Greentech Ecobooster emerged as the top winner of the Shell LiveWire 2025 Final Pitch Day, held in September during Echelon Philippines 2025 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay. The startup received ₱1 million in equity-free funding from Shell Pilipinas Corp. (SPC).
The winning project, Greentech Ecobooster, is a fuel-optimization device that improves combustion-engine performance while reducing fuel use and greenhouse-gas emissions. During the program, the startup showcased its work with tricycle drivers in Parañaque, where the device helped lower daily fuel costs and improve efficiency.

Other finalists Agridom and Pili AdheSeal Inc. each received ₱500,000 for their projects, which featured innovations in smart agriculture and sustainable construction materials. Their participation reflected the range of solutions developed by Filipino entrepreneurs to address local challenges and create scalable impact.
