Trade Secretary Alfredo E. Pascual said he pitched the country’s “improved business climate” to several business executives of companies, such as Coursera and Chevron, during the World Economic Forum , which, he said, was fueled by the recent economic reforms that facilitate ease of doing business.
In a news statement issued on Tuesday, the Department of Trade and Industry said Pascual held a series of bilateral meetings on Monday with senior executives of companies with business interests in the Philippines, such as Coursera, Chevron, Astranis, and She Loves Tech. Coursera is a US-based global online learning platform that offers online courses and degrees from “world-class” universities and companies. Chevron Corporation is an American multinational energy corporation. Meanwhile, Astranis is also a US-based internet connectivity firm and She Loves Tech is an international non-profit organization, which is committed to “closing the funding gap for women-led and women impact entrepreneurs.
