MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine unit of IBM will open its first Innovation Center in the country – and the second in Asia – at the UP-Ayala Techno Park in Quezon City.
Although the company refused to disclose the project’s actual amount, the center will focus on developing open-source and Web 2.0 solutions geared towards helping the Philippines move up the BPO chain.
The Philippines “has a big pool of developers who can create applications and solutions that will allow people and corporations to collaborate and gain access to technology," Janet Klein, director for developer relations at IBM Asia Pacific, said during a small media gathering.
