Asia’s lead in information communication and technology (ICT) development is further bolstered as the The Asian Information and Communications Technology Council (AIC) is moving towards identifying the ICT strength of its member countries.
Every country in Asia has a different strong role in region’s ICT sector. The Philippines should focus on improving its capability in outsourcing and IT-enabled services whilst Taiwan, other than manufacturing, moves to lead in the service-driven ICT capabilities.
The Philippines is cited to rise in the ICT and outsourcing map, on developing IT awareness for the public, on improving its digital infrastructure and on its readiness for industry, technology and society for the mega-trend of ICT in the world.
