(08 April 2025, Parañaque City) - The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) has taken a major leap forward in establishing itself as the premier investment destination in Northern Luzon by finalizing a strategic Channel Partner Agreement with Converge ICT Solutions Inc., a leading provider of high-speed internet services in the Philippines. This partnership, spearheaded by APECO President and CEO Atty. Gil G. Taway IV, aims to formalize a mutually beneficial relationship that will revolutionize connectivity within the economic zone, providing investors and locators with fast, reliable internet—critical for modern business operations.
Converge Area Account Manager Jason Del Rosario played a pivotal role in advancing the partnership to completion, underscoring the company’s commitment to supporting regional economic development through enhanced digital infrastructure. The improved connectivity from Converge’s services is particularly promising for business process outsourcing (BPO) firms and other technology-oriented enterprises.
With reliable high-speed internet now available within the economic zone, APECO becomes a viable location for digital service providers and call center agencies seeking to expand into cost-effective, less congested regions. This not only diversifies APECO’s industrial base but also opens new employment opportunities for local communities, aligning with national goals for inclusive, technology-driven development.
Beyond telecommunications, APECO continues to offer a full suite of utilities, including power and water services, demonstrating its readiness to accommodate the diverse needs of investors. This solidifies the agency’s status as a fully equipped, investor-friendly zone. The Channel Partner Agreement further boosts the zone’s operational capabilities and positions APECO as a digital-ready hub in Northern Luzon.
Atty. Taway remarked, “This partnership with Converge ICT is a game-changer for APECO. Fast and reliable internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity for businesses today. With this in place, we are confident that APECO will attract a new wave of locators, particularly in the BPO and digital services sectors, accelerating economic growth in the region.”
As the partnership unfolds, investors seeking a strategic location with modern digital infrastructure and access to a growing regional market will find APECO increasingly hard to overlook. The APECO-Converge collaboration is more than a business agreement—it is a milestone that signals APECO’s commitment to embracing the future of economic development through connectivity. With reliable, high-speed internet now at its core, APECO stands ready to offer investors a robust platform for growth, innovation, and competitive advantage in the evolving Philippine economy.
