Plenary 7: Future-Proof your Business: The Case for a Sovereign Digital Ph
Plenary Session
Underscores the need for the Philippines to establish its own sovereign digital infrastructure as a foundation for national resilience and long-term competitiveness. In an era where data is the new currency, reliance on foreign platforms and providers exposes the country to risks in security, privacy, and economic independence. This session will examine policy measures and governance frameworks that can strengthen the nation’s digital sovereignty - ranging from secure data governance and cloud infrastructure to fostering local digital industries - ensuring that the Philippines not only keeps pace with global digital transformation but also safeguards its strategic interests and empowers its citizens and enterprises in a trusted digital environment.
