The meeting of industry leaders held at the Board of Investments (BOI) was presided by Ms Lydia Guevarra, Director IV of the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Resource Generation and Management Service, and Ms Kimberly May Baltao-Chandra of the World Bank. The gathering brought together associations, including the Aerospace Industries Association of the Philippines (AIAP) and Samahan sa Pilipinas ng mga Industriyang Kimika (SPIK).
The participants zeroed in on sharing success stories from different places, exploring how to bring about further development and innovation in the region, and coordinating their strategies to help parts of society that are lagging behind. Both the DTI and the World Bank stressed in their speeches that government agencies, business sectors, and institutions of research should work more closely together for reasons of competition as well as innovation.

This cooperative project is geared to strengthen the aerospace and chemical sectors — industries that are all important elements of our industrial scene.
