Bataan ICT Development Council

Our position

Bataan's place in the digital economy will be decided by the choices its own institutions make today.

Since 2014 the council has been the private-sector voice on technology in Bataan. Our trustees lead companies, universities, and public offices across the province. We use that reach to align policy, talent, and investment behind one direction.

In practice, we do three things. We convene and co-organize the province's technology programs. We represent industry where public decisions are made. And we carry Bataan's founders and institutions into national and international networks.

About the council

Vision and mission

Our mission

Work with government, academe, industry, and the community toward a shared technology agenda for the province.
Advance digital skills, innovation, and the growth of new enterprises.
Share knowledge and build partnerships that open Bataan to wider networks.
Help public services adopt technology well and serve residents better.

Three priorities, one direction.
