Davao City keeps...

local government units in attracting more investors to explore business opportunities and investments that would translate into employment opportunities and economic growth for our countrymen. BOI OIC-Director for Investment Assistance Service (IAS) Edilberto Nunag said during the capacity building seminar that the City Government of Davao will be more confident to handhold potential investors as they establish their businesses in Davao.

Davao City Local Government has investment projects, particularly in the tourism and infrastructure sectors, which are open for investors via the Local Government Unit-Public-Private Partnership scheme.

As the participants are equipped with new set of skills and knowledge in providing investment counseling to potential and even existing investors, the BOI envisions the Seminar will help Davao City in attracting potential investors for their investment projects. Even after the seminar, the BOI will still be working closely with Davao City by referring these projects to potential investors.

The BOI also conducted sessions on how to be an effective investment counselors and frontliners and introduction of the BOI’s One-Window Network (BOIOWN), a cloud-based web portal and mobile application system that enables investors not only to lodge queries and concerns online, but also access a databank of information related to business and investments.
