2017-2022 STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

To say that Team DTI is pumped up, is an understatement. A recent 3 party survey revealed an
rd
89 percent employee engagement rating for the year 2016, significantly high compared to industry
benchmarks.

Exciting projects are lined up, and we shall earnestly work for the appropriate budgetary support.
DTI will nonetheless continue with its regular activities and services. However, developmental
initiatives and a policy agenda shall be pursued to address performance gaps and drive the
attainment of our breakthrough goals.

Development Initiatives

ON INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT

Projects are focused on: (1) pushing the Philippines to become an innovation-driven economy, (2)
integrating the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) into the global value chain (GVC),

and (3) identifying and implementing interventions for industries where the Philippines can

potentially become a global market leader. For the next six (6) years, the goal is to become one of

the world’s top ten (10) suppliers of coconut products, specifically activated carbon and oleo

chemicals, bananas, mangoes, and telecommunications. Finally, an innovation ecosystem will be

established to sustain the country’s competitiveness.
Inclusive and Innovation-led Industrial Strategy (i3s)
The Department of Trade and Industry - Board of Investments (DTI - BOI)
formulated the Inclusive and Innovation-led Industrial Strategy aimed at
upgrading manufacturing, agriculture and services while strengthening their
linkages into domestic and global value chains. The goal is to develop globally
competitive and innovative industries with strong forward and backward
linkages, and address the most binding constraints that prevent the entry of
new firms or hinder the latter’s integration into the global value chains of
multinationals.
