Event Overview

The "Exporting for Growth: Maximizing EU-GSP+ to Build a Global Mindanao" is a high-impact virtual dialogue designed to empower Mindanao's business community in expanding their footprint in the global market. Anchored on the opportunities provided by the European Union's Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (EU-GSP+), the forum will serve as a practical guide for companies seeking to enhance their export readiness and competitiveness.

Through this dialogue, participants will gain a clear understanding of the EU-GSP+ framework, its benefits for Philippine exporters, and its critical role in driving Mindanao's integration into international trade. The sessions will cover key insights on how to identify eligible products, comply with technical standards and legal requirements of the European market, and strategically take advantage of reduced tariffs to open new trade opportunities.

In addition to practical exporting know-how, the event will highlight success stories, share market intelligence, and provide expert perspectives on strengthening Mindanao's participation in global value chains. By fostering collaboration among government agencies, private sector leaders, and international partners, the dialogue seeks to equip Mindanao businesses with the tools and knowledge needed to maximize EU-GSP+ benefits—ultimately contributing to sustainable economic growth, job creation, and a more globally competitive Mindanao.
