The overall theme of the Iloilo Investment Forum is anchored on “Reimagining Iloilo’s Next Economy” as the Province and City of Iloilo are now moving forward to regain its growth from the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Organized by the Iloilo Provincial Government, the Iloilo City Government, and the Iloilo Economic Development Foundation, Inc. (ILEDF), the investment forum is structured as a series of business conferences and meetings. All preliminary events will take place from December 2020 up to February 2021 and it will culminate in an International Investment Forum calendared by the organizers in March 2021.
The two-half day business conference from December 9 to 10 is organized in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture (DA-VI), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI-VI), Department of Tourism (DOT-VI) and the Department of Interior and Local Government-Local Governance Local Regional Resource Center 6.
The event is designed to comply with the prevailing health protocol requirements; hence, it will have a combined component of an on-venue activity and online session through Zoom and with live streaming through Facebook.
