The Department of Trade and Industry is currently developing the framework of the first ecommerce roadmap to enable more businesses to harness the potential of this business.

To this purpose, the DTI is bringing together local ecommerce practitioners and other key stakeholders in a forum to discuss and benchmark the maximum growth potential in this business.

Prudencio Reyes, Trade Undersecretary, has informed that the ecommerce roadmap will cover the industry vision, goals and targets from 2015 to 2020 and will serve as the country’s blueprint in gaining the mutual commitment among the private and public sectors, academe and other stakeholders to bring forth a prolific ecommerce industry.
