This event is a platform for business leaders to discuss and explore issues on trade, investment, and various business opportunities in the Philippines today. With an evident economic growth in 2016, the Philippines has shown impressive potential over the past few years in the ASEAN region, and has become more attractive to local and foreign investors alike. The Philippines has continued to exceed the expectations of the global market, making it an easy target for businesses to consider opportunities in the country instead. As 2017 marks the 40th anniversary of the EU-ASEAN relations, let us look deeper into a global, innovative and inclusive economy in the Philippines.
