Digital Economy Package for the Philippines

About this project

The Digital Economy Package for the Philippines aims at providing the Philippines with secure and reliable digital connectivity infrastructure enabling high-speed and real-time Copernicus data access and exchange among relevant Philippines entities and users. Building on the national Copernicus capacity support project in the Philippines (CopPhil), the initiative will provide the national authorities with the knowledge, skills, and technical means to improve disaster preparedness and response, and to mitigate climate change effects. Additionally the package aims at supporting the 5G roll-out in the Philippines as well as improving cybersecurity measures.Timely and unrestricted access to satellite data is important to tackle disaster risk management and climate change which is critical for a disaster-prone country like the Philippines. Copernicus data and its applications are essential in improving disaster preparedness and response. In this context, the TEI will enhance the functionality of the national Copernicus data repository facility (national Copernicus mirror site) established under the CopPhil at the Philippine Space Agency through the development of faster data access, storing, processing and exchange among Philippines authorities which utilise Copernicus for planning and emergency response. The TEI will boost education, research and innovation by facilitating exchange of data and services among research centres and academic institutions.The Action will also prepare…
