📢 Empowering Small Businesses in the Philippines!   We’re thrilled to announce a transformative partnership between GSMA - Mobile for Development and the International Trade Centre (ITC) under the UN’s Digital PINAS initiative. The partnership was announced at the GSMA’s Digital Nation Summit in Manila, the Philippines and aims to advance digital inclusion of small businesses in the country.   Despite the rapid expansion of mobile connectivity, 55 million Filipinos who live within reach of mobile broadband remain offline, many of whom are small business owners—the backbone of the economy. These businesses face unique challenges, including access to digital skills, devices, and an enabling policy environment.   We’re thrilled to have our members Globe Telecom and Smart Communications, Inc. as implementing partners, collaborating closely with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Department of Information and Communications Technology - Philippines (DICT).   Together, we’re building a more connected, inclusive future for small businesses!   #DigitalInclusion #SmallBusinessGrowth #DigitalPinas #Philippines #Connectivityforall #Innovation

In a panel at the Digital Nation Summit Manila today, Julian Gorman, Head of GSMA APAC together with Darius Jose Delgado, CCO of of Globe Telecom, and Anastacio Martirez, COO of Smart Communications, Inc., shared their vision, strategies, and challenges in advancing the country’s digital transformation.
