Aboitiz InfraCapital CEO highlights importance of digital infrastructure

Aboitiz InfraCapital President and CEO Cosette V. Canilao spoke at the Philippine Infrastructure Summit 2023 on the topic of digital infrastructure development.

Timing is everything, and the time is now; the foundations that will guide the nation’s future are what is built today. This is particularly true with regard to digital infrastructure development, which has the potential to bridge the gaps across the archipelago and provide efficient, life-essential government services to the Filipino people.

Speaking at the recent Philippine Infrastructure Summit on the topic “Reshaping the Philippine infrastructure landscape” Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC) President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Cosette V. Canilao shared invaluable insights on the future of digital infrastructure development.

This year, the Philippine Infrastructure Summit highlighted the imminent enactment of the proposed Public Private Partnership (PPP) Act, which aims to provide investment incentives and promote infrastructure development. The changing course and expanding industry landscape is well-evident in the field of digital infrastructure, which complements and goes beyond the built environment towards a digitally connected and enabled nation.

In a country as diverse and spread out as the Philippines, a robust digital infrastructure ecosystem with strong e-governance is necessary for inclusive growth. Canilao spoke to a room of industry leaders and stakeholders interested in gaining a deeper understanding and exploring the future of infrastructure development in the Philippines.
