As a country the Philippines is a market that cannot be ignored for it’s potential and the evident success of it’s already dominant cloud companies.
As a result, the Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, and Datacenter landscape are all intensifying with new entrants keen to establish their foothold in the market.
Market optimism is at an all-time high, a signal that the digital ecosystem is on the precipice of accelerated growth.
Notably there is evidence to back this optimism. The rising middle-class coupled with a local internet population of close to 70 million users indicates lasting growth in the Cloud sector. Individuals in the Philippines spend an average of 10 hours online, topping the global average.
With the country reopening, the pivot towards high speed connectivity promises to maximize this usage gap and potentially be the catalyst which will see the Philippines become a dominant force within the Southeast Asian market.
Join us at The Philippines Cloud and Datacenter Convention 2022 to be at the forefront of the discussions surrounding the game-changing developments within the industry, and capitalize on the opportunities they carry for all major players in the Philippines.
