As the ASEAN digital economy is estimated to top $1 trillion by 2030, Digital Pilipinas promotes the Philippines as a “soft haven” for global entrepreneurs.
During the recent Digital Pilipinas Festival (DPS), foreign and Filipino executives discussed their joint growth goals, including making advances like Web 3.0, InsureTech, AI, and Big Data more accessible to the general public.
With Digital Pilipinas as a platform for international tech collaboration, she also positioned the Philippines as “a welcoming gateway to ASEAN for other countries who wish to do business in our region, for innovators from other countries who, in the face of adverse political or economic conditions, need to temporarily relocate to where their culture of innovation will be preserved.”
Digital Pilipinas is the largest private sector project for establishing a technology and innovation ecosystem in the country, with the goal of accelerating technological growth and building an anti-fragile system for the country’s societal structures and sectors.
In collaboration with Elevandi, an organization founded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to promote public-private dialogue to advance FinTech in the digital economy, it organized the Digital Pilipinas Festival, which included the World FinTech Festival-Philippines and the Philippine FinTech Festival.
