The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic magnified the significance of digital economy in supporting economic competitiveness and resiliency. A movement towards digitalization and e-commerce has been observed across the Asia Pacific region, and the Philippines is no exception. Despite this, however, the prospects of pursuing digitalization have been coupled with constraints including access to affordable technologies, poor access to quality internet, and long-held traditional operation models.

To discuss the prospects of digitalization across the country, WR and National University of Singapore-Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy organizes a discussion forum and white paper launching entitled: “Digitalizing the Philippines: A White Paper Launch and Discussion Forum” to facilitate exchanges on the challenges and opportunities of promoting the development of digital economy in the Philippines.

This forum is organized in partnership with Embiggen Consulting, the University of Asia & the Pacific School of Law and Governance, College of St. Benilde School of Diplomacy and Governance, and the Philippine Strategic Forum.

We invite you to join us, along with the esteemed personalities and experts in the industry, in promoting the digital transformation in the country. We look forward to seeing you!
