DATE 2009 empowers Davao’s business sector

The Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. staged the Davao Trade Expo (DATE) 2009 last September 17-19 at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. With their eleventh year theme, "Building the Future NOW: Sustaining Yields. Strengthening Links", DATE 2009 focuses on building the future by engaging Davao's business sector in shaping up business plans in changing global economic conditions.

Moreover, DATE 2009 featured exhibitors from the Davao Region's agriculture, trade and commerce, ICT, and tourism sectors. The Province of North Cotabato and various foreign delegates have also joined the said event.

The event highlighted the revival of the Davao Region Business Conference (DRBC) which arranged key decision makers from the Provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and the Compostela Province. This is to provide leaders a venue to supply and exchange sufficient knowledge about each region's primary industries and further come up with resolutions that directly affect Davao region's economy.

A two-day job fair was also conducted to extend career opportunities to the workforce in the region, which was held on Sept. 17 & 18, facilitated by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

The region's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), on the other hand, expressed their support in facilitating the DATE 2009 Business matching along with Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) authorities.
