Get ready to shift gears and turn on the ignition, because the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2025 is now officially open, celebrating its 20th year since its first inception in 2005! MIAS has been around for the past 20 years, showcasing the best of what the automotive industry has to offer and proving that it remains the unbeatable automobile show in the country! The theme for this year, “Driven by Connection”, is a fitting theme to highlight the efforts of Worldbex Services International (WSI) in making connections with international car brands, partners, and visitors to enhance the MIAS experience year after year. The 20th year emblem is a powerful symbol of their commitment to innovation. It is a testimony to how we charge ahead, driven by our ideals and aspirations, and shape the automotive industry together. MIAS has been a hub for innovation, collaboration, and progress. And this year, we celebrate these powerful connections we’ve built and continue to sustain, fueling an electrifying future — 20 years in the making.
