The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed our relationship with technology, highlighting the critical importance of internet connectivity in modern professional and personal life. As cities worldwide embrace this digital transformation, Davao City and Region stand at the forefront of this technological revolution. The DICT-Davao initiative is strategically positioning the city as an emerging IT-BPM hub, with ambitious plans to expand the region's IT-BPM workforce by 150,000 professionals by 2028. Recent 2024, surveys indicate significant progress, with the department already successfully growing the regional workforce by 80,000.
