Like many multi-stakeholder organizations, ICT Davao has evolved a history of its own. With the assistance of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the ICT Council of Davao was born in 2002 to champion the needs of the industry. It adopted its new name ICT Davao in 2006 and has revitalized its membership which now includes the ICT educational and technical training institutions, the sub-sector association of various IT-enabled and BPO services such as contact centers, transcription providers, FOSS users, IT software and hardware vendors, i-Café operators and inventors. ICT Davao works with relevant business support organizations, the local government and national government agencies that champion the formulation of ICT related policies and regulations to create a business environment that encourage ICT investments to make Davao the preferred destination for competitive and cutting-edge ICT products and services.
