As businesses strive to balance operational resilience, cost efficiency, and workforce expectations, the discussion highlighted how the Philippines continues to play a critical role as a strategic hub for GICs. The session examined the country’s evolving GIC value proposition and how it is adapting to meet the demands of the future.

Whether operating a center today or evaluating the Philippines as a GIC destination, the session provided practical guidance for leveraging the country’s strengths in a global services portfolio.

💡 Key topics included:
• The evolving value proposition of the Philippines’ GIC/GCC market and its maturity journey
• Technology and talent trends shaping the next phase of Philippines-based GICs
• Actionable guidance for enterprises looking to scale or enter the Philippines GIC landscape
