The Department of Trade and Industry Central Visayas is organizing an ASEAN Economic Integration Workshop for the Manfacturing, Trade/Retail, and Creative Industries on April 4, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel in Cebu City.
In cooperation with the Export Marketing Bureau, Regional Development Authority (NEDA 7) and Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), the activity seeks to identify action plans and strategies that would prepare and capacitate industry sectors for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) integration.
Resource speakers from Manila will discuss on the overall direction of industry development, impact of AEC integration, and its advantages to the manufacturing, retail/trade and creative industries; while resource speakers from Cebu will share their knowledge, experiences and expectations to the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community integration.
Outputs of the workshop will be utilized as main inputs to the Central Visayas Roadmap to AEC integration and will serve as guiding document for the stakeholders in their preparation for the AEC integration.
Those who would like to participate in the ASEAN Economic Integration Workshop may call the DTI 7 Business Development Division for registration at 2550036, 255-0037 or 412-1989 local 601.
2015 marks the birth of the ASEAN Economic Community and the start of free trade between the 10 member-countries where products and services, among other things, will have a single market and production base and where labor, investments and capital will have a freer flow. (end)
