As the nation continues to strive towards progress, two of its most vital sectors have been observed to possess significant potential for profit generation and development. In a 2018 report by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Philippines has climbed to the 55th spot out of 82 countries in terms of preparedness for technological change – making it the 4th most tech-ready economy in Southeast Asia.
On the other hand, the recent strides of the government to improve upon the state of national security has likewise earned recognition for the large-scale advancements that it entails for the industry and society at large.
Recognizing the vast necessity for proper resources and relevant support that both sectors demand at this most crucial time, Worldbex Services International – the country’s leading events and expositions organizer – assumes an instrumental role in empowering the Philippine tech and security industries as it returns with the much-anticipated World of Consumer Electronics Expo (WOCEE) and the World of Safety and Security Expo (WOSAS) this September.
The future of tech awaits at WOCEE
Aiming to be a sustainable launch pad for the latest technologies from local innovators, WOCEE is back on its 3rd year to invite everyone to “Experience the Future”. Set to be held across a 15,000sqm exhibit area, this year’s WOCEE will be showcasing 250 exhibitors who will be bringing in a wide array of cutting-edge products in the field of consumer technology.
