BusinessWorld Economic Forum 2021
VIEW EVENT DETAILSThe Digital Economy PH: Towards a Faster Economic Recovery
Asia Society Philippines is a proud partner organization for BusinessWorlds Economic Forum 2021 happening this 26 to 27 May with the theme, “The Digital Economy PH: Towards a Faster Economic Recovery.”
A World Bank report stated that the use of digital technologies such as digital payments, e-commerce, telemedicine, and online education is rising in the Philippines and has helped individuals, businesses, and the government cope with social distancing measures, ensure business continuity, and deliver public services during the pandemic.
World Bank Economist Kevin C. Chua, lead author of the report, said increasing digital adoption by the government, businesses, and citizens is critical, not only to help the Philippines adapt to the post- COVID-19 world, but also to achieve its vision of becoming a society free of poverty by 2040.
This year’s special edition of BusinessWorld Virtual Economic Forum will feature interesting keynote talks, panel discussions, fireside chats, networking, and interactive exhibits in the digital space with leaders across industries sharing their insights, concerns, and plans to collaborate and take part in digitalizing the country and rebuilding the economy.
Including a Keynote presentation from one of Asia Society Philippines’ Trustees, Fernando Zobel de Ayala, President and CEO of Ayala Corporation
