Event Details

Davao City is an attractive destination for investment, particularly in tourism, agribusiness, manufacturing, and property development. Davao is a desirable location for individuals seeking to benefit from fiscal incentives given the wide variety of investment opportunities available. Prior to the unprecedented economic crisis, Davao's vibrant economy indicated strong performances with a 9.4% GRDP growth rate, 6.3% value of investment growth rates and a 6.1% number of establishments growth rate. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Davao continues to demonstrate a diversified economy as well as a robust and accelerating business sector, which makes it a hive of investment opportunities.


The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines in partnership with the Davao City Investment Promotion Center (DCIPC), Embassy of Sweden Manila, Philippine Embassy of Stockholm, and DTI-PTIC Stockholm, invites the Swedish Business Community to explore, connect, and do business in Davao.


This webinar will provide the Swedish Business Community an overview of the growing business opportunities in Davao that you can explore, share insights on how ECCP & DCIPC can ably facilitate your business entry and expansion in the country, and present the attractive incentives available to foreign investors.
