The Global AI Council (GAC) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in the Philippines for the upcoming event “DIWA: Empowering Women’s Advancement in Tech,” spearheaded by DICT Undersecretary Jocelle Batapa-Sigue. This event, happening later this month, reinforces GAC’s dedication to promoting diversity, inclusion, and technological empowerment, with a focus on advancing the role of women in technology.

“DIWA,” a Filipino word for “mind” or “spirit,” aims to harness the transformative power of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to advance gender equality. The event will empower women to take active roles in shaping an inclusive and sustainable digital future, providing them with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed to thrive in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Under the visionary leadership of Undersecretary Batapa-Sigue, “DIWA” will create a platform to celebrate and elevate women’s contributions to the tech industry, offering a series of discussions, keynote presentations, and interactive workshops. Participants will learn from accomplished women leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are driving change in the fields of AI, ICT, and beyond. This event will be a celebration of their impact while offering tangible tools and strategies for advancing gender equality in tech.

The partnership between GAC and DICT reflects a shared mission to empower women through education and technology. With Undersecretary Batapa-Sigue’s leadership, “DIWA” will help more women unlock their potential and lead the way in AI and other emerging technologies. This collaboration represents a significant step toward building a more diverse and inclusive tech industry, where women have equal opportunities to innovate and contribute.

For participants, “DIWA” is a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders, gain actionable insights, and become part of a growing community of women empowered by technology. It’s not just an event—it’s a movement toward a more equitable digital future.
