How PACCI-Utah Helped SendVia Expand Its Reach
When Sendvia, a tech startup specializing in medical solutions for filipino families back in the Philippines, sought to enter the Filipino-American market, they faced a common challenge—building trust and establishing connections within the community. That’s where the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Utah (PACCI-Utah) stepped in.
Through strategic networking, market insights, and high-impact introductions, PACCI-Utah helped Sendvia gain access to key business leaders, faith-based organizations, and influential Filipino-American communities across the U.S.
In August 2024, PACCI-Utah organized a successful road trip for Sendvia, leading them to meet:
The Philippine Consul
strengthening diplomatic
business ties.
The President of the National Diversity Coalition
opening doors to diverse communities.
The President of COFACC
expanding Sendvia’s reach to Filipino chambers nationwide
Key faith-based groups in Daly City,
a major hub for the Filipino-American market.
As a result, Sendvia saw a boost in user adoption, increased brand awareness, and established partnerships that accelerated its expansion in the U.S.
“PACCI-Utah’s support gave us the connections and credibility we needed to break into the market. Their commitment to helping businesses thrive is unmatched.”
