In partnership with the country’s private sector-led digitization movement Digital Pilipinas, the French Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines recently concluded an early-stage startup contest where local education technology platform Edukasyon.ph and e-signature platform Twala proved as victors in a pool of nine Filipino and French startup companies.
“Before the pandemic, the government has already been utilizing digitalization to push the ease of doing business. The adoption of e-commerce facilitated the digital transformation of business. The government remains committed to its role in enabling different stakeholders in our country to ensure our people benefits in e-commerce,” Lopez explained.
