Dennis Uy, founder and chief executive officer of Converge ICT Solution Inc, plans to build a “digital hub” in Pampanga in the next three to four years.
In a virtual briefing hosted by the Nordic Chamber of Commerce, Uy said he is in talks with Trade Secretary Ramon Luzon on his plan to build a “tech city.”
Uy said the power system in the so- called tech city should be embedded, to be able to supply its own requirements, while cutting down power consumption by 40 to 50 percent.
Converge is on track to expand its fiber internet services in unserved and underserved areas in the country and improve further its customer services
In the third quarter this year, Converge launched its domestic fiber backbone landing in Roxas, Mindoro, which is part of the second phase of its inter-island nationwide connection.
The fiber internet company connected Visayas and Mindanao to its domestic backbone last April and would soon complete the second phase of its domestic submarine cable project that would connect all the major islands in the archipelago to its fiber backbone.
As of end-June 2021, total residential subscribers of Converge reached almost 1.4 million as it saw tremendous take-up of its fiber broadband services in new areas, particularly in Cebu.
