Forums & Summits

At the core of every thriving economy lies its greatest asset—its people. As industries face rapid technological advancements, intensifying global competition, and evolving workforce dynamics, the call to invest in people has become more urgent than ever. This urgency underscores the need to prioritize skills development, talent retention, and inclusive workplace practices. In the Philippines, equipping our workforce with future-ready skills is a strategic imperative for long-term economic resilience and regional competitiveness. In light of this, we ask: What is the Future of Work?

To respond to this growing demand, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), through its Human Capital Committee, is organizing the 2025 Future of Work Forum, with the theme "People First: Strengthening the Workforce for a Future-Ready Economy", this forum will delve into the critical intersection of human capital development and national growth through three key sessions:

• SESSION 1 | Powering Productivity: The Nexus of Human Capital and Economic Strategy
• SESSION 2 | Workforce Rewired: Navigating Talent in the Age of Digital Transformation
• SESSION 3 | The Talent Outlook: Reimagining the Future of Work

This high-level forum will convene government officials, industry leaders, workforce experts, and education stakeholders to discuss current trends, policy directions, and innovative approaches to human capital development. Through dynamic panel discussions, this event aims to foster stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors, promote responsive and inclusive workforce policies, and champion a more resilient and future-ready Filipino workforce.
