Regional IPP Roadshow to start May 22

The Board of Investments (BOI) will conduct an Investments Priorities Plan (IPP) Regional Roadshow in several key cities in the country starting on May 22 in General Santos City.

The IPP Roadshow is an agency initiative to bring its services to the regions by informing the public on the salient features of the IPP 2014-2016 and its implementing guidelines, specifically on the investment opportunities for potential and existing investors.

The IPP is a fundamental investment policy tool for industry development, which aims to build industries not necessarily through incentives, but through policy interventions and initiatives. The IPP targets investment opportunities and needs to create jobs, expand industries’ capacity and enhance the competitiveness of local industries.
