As the Philippines continues to navigate the pandemic, we have seen how telco networks have worked hard to ensure that they keep up with bandwidth and uptime requirements posed by enterprises whose workforce transitioned to work-from-home arrangements due to quarantine restrictions and consumers who shifted to online banking and shopping. E-wallets and digital banking have provided consumers with frictionless transactions and further increased the adoption of e-commerce platforms that served as a lifeline for small businesses and service providers.
Recognizing the significant role of digitalization in the recovery and sustainability of the economy the Shareholders’ Association of the Philippines (SharePHIL) will hold the first leg of its Annual Summit on April 28, Wednesday at 2PM, with the theme “Reshaping the Economy through Inclusive Business”.
Entitled “From Bricks to Clicks: Thriving in the Digital World”, the SharePHIL Summit will discuss Connectivity, Access, and Inclusion as channels for economic recovery and how digitalization and the shift from in-person to online transactions can foster inclusive and sustainable growth.
Featuring keynote speakers: Ernest Cu, President and CEO of Globe Telecom; Al Panlilio, President & CEO of Smart and CRO of the PLDT Group; and Hans Sicat, Country Head of ING Philippines. A panel discussion will follow, where they will be joined by Paolo Azzola, COO of PayMaya; Ray Alimurung, CEO of Lazada Philippines; Martha Sazon, President and CEO of GCash; and Grace Vera Cruz, Country Head of Grab Philippines; moderated by SharePHIL Trustee and Treasurer Marivic Españo, Chairperson & CEO of P&A Grant Thornton.
The 2021 SharePHIL 2021 Summit Series is made possible by Ayala Land, Robinsons Land, and SM Investments, in cooperation with BDO Unibank, GCash, P&A Grant Thornton, BD&P Law Offices, PLDT Home, and Smart Communications.
