Information and Communications Technology is crucial in how we give information, provide services, transactions, conduct business, and engage with government organizations. As of January 2021, Philippines had 74 million internet users which clearly shows that ICT is the primary growth engine for daily activities, various businesses, and even in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the importance of economic implications of ICT, proper usage of communication is vital in order to avoid disadvantages. Hence, ensuring an effective digitalization requires proper decision-making and measures to improve the internet environment and fill up infrastructural gaps.

In order to maintain a healthy business environment in which companies may thrive and benefit from ICTs, the ECCP Cagayan de Oro/Northern Mindanao branch will be hosting a forum entitled "Anchoring ICT: A Business Strategy for Continuity & Productivity" on 2 September 2022 from 10:00 AM to 12:00PM (GMT +8), in a hybrid format.

This webinar will bring together experts in the field of ICT and various professionals in the business industry to discuss business continuity & productivity, opening up the mindsets of professionals to exploring new connections & services and data protection & security.
