Filipinos most confident in tech-driven growth among ASEAN
Filipinos are the most confident among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in believing that new technology will drive more growth in business.
According to a survey by cloud computing firm VMware, 83% of Filipinos believe that the digital progress of the nation and the potential of technology in creating jobs and livelihood could leave a substantial impact on the country’s economy.
Filipino consumers also show high reception to new technologies compared to other SEA countries. The survey showed that 55% are aware of the Metaverse and are optimistic about it.
The survey also reveals that high internet service (76%) and better connectivity (68%) are the most important contributing factors for Filipino consumers to buy homes in the future, leading to adaptability than the rest of the world (55.5%).
VMware Philippines Country Manager Walter So said that fostering digitalization and modernization requires more than the ability to acquire immersive technologies.
“It also means creating environments where businesses can leverage innovation by delivering meaningful change to drive the best results for the customers,” he added.
