Event Details

Rapid changes and uncertainties have been dominating the economic state of affairs brought about by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Additionally, the crisis has forced all the entities to adjust and adapt according to these contemporary conditions. The global transitions have shed light on the emerging issues particularly concerning the sector of education considering that face-to-face classes have been halted since the pandemic started and up until now in the Philippines, and hence being one of the last countries in the world to continue the closure of schools during the pandemic, which significantly took a heavy toll on the educational system of all the institutions within the region. Furthermore, the activities being undertaken in the field of education are highly relevant and associated with the status of health services and facilities in the communities given that we are under a disease outbreak. In this regard, it is eminently exigent to tackle the recent developments and potential investments within these industries, particularly in the Davao region.

With the previous successful iterations of this series covering other industries of the economy, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, in collaboration with the Davao City Investment Promotion Center, seeks to enjoin local and foreign investors as well as entrepreneurs to invest and set up operations in the high growth potential Crown Jewel of Mindanao.

Join us to the fourth installment of NOW (New Opportunities Waiting) in Davao City, on 9 November 2021 from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM to attain advantageous insights on opportunities that await in Davao City and this opens prospective investors to lucrative opportunities under the sectors of Education and Health Services.
