Developing digital capabilities is, therefore, not only a driver of growth but also a critical foundation for resilience and long-term sustainability. Supporting women-led enterprises in adopting them will sharpen their competitiveness while contributing to the broader economic resilience and more inclusive development.
To advance this vision, the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) and the Asian and Pacific Training Centre for ICT for Development (APCICT), with support from the Department of Trade and Industry, will co-organize the WIFI DX Training on Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in Southern Philippines through Digital Transformation on 1-4 June 2026 in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. WIFI DX promotes women’s entrepreneurship through digital skills development. The training will focus on e-commerce, digital marketing, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and business continuity planning.
