BATAAN FREEPORT– The Authority of the Free-port Area of Bataan (AFAB) recently partnered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to conduct an information/advocacy seminar on the Philippines’ Foreign Trade Agreements (FTAs) to  empower FAB investors to take full advantage of the privileges enumerated under these FTAs.

Entitled “Doing Business in Free Trade Areas,” the campaign is designed to inform business enterprises and the general public regarding the opportunities and privileges stated under the FTAs (with focus on products with zero or reduced tariffs brought about by existing free trade agreements) entered into by the Philippine Government with fellow members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN).  It also promotes the Industry-Academe Linkage Program, which encourages cooperation between companies and universities to become powerful engines for innovation and economic growth.
