THE TED INITIATIVE
A Technology Ecosystem Development plan for the aspiring Digital City.
The TED Initiative is a 24-month plan to jumpstart a self-contained technology ecosystem in a next-wave city that is curated by the National ICT Confederation of the Philippines, SERVIO Technologies, and Coders Guild. TED will inspire, educate, and motivate the youth of our countryside to pursue a career in technology entrepreneurship and contribute to the digital transformation of their city.
The TED Initiative provides a model and a roadmap that a city's ICT Council can use to mobilize and orchestrate the efforts of technology Evangelists, LGU’s, NGA’s, schools, students, businesses, and professionals in the countryside to launch local startups under Republic Act 11337 (Innovative Startup Act) that will develop technology solutions for their local community.
