Globe Business holds first G Summit in Davao, courts Mindanao enterprises

Globe Business is stepping up efforts to sell digital transformation services to companies in Davao City and the rest of Mindanao, and held its first-ever G Summit in the city on September 3, 2026, according to Edge Davao.

Glenn Estrella, Globe Business vice president for business development and sales, said holding the summit in Davao shows the company's commitment to Mindanao businesses and their expansion plans. "When you think about Globe's aspiration to serve connectivity and to uplift the nation, you can't leave out Mindanao," he said.

Estrella said enterprises in the region share the same goals as businesses elsewhere in the country, such as creating jobs, developing ideas and reaching new markets. He said Globe Business serves clients of all sizes, from individual online sellers and small businesses to mid-sized firms and large corporations, with services ranging from connectivity to IT solutions.

He said telecom infrastructure must keep pace as Davao and the wider region grow, noting that financial inclusion depends on connectivity. He added that with high-speed internet, cloud services and data centre infrastructure, regional entrepreneurs can serve customers abroad. Estrella also named agriculture as a sector where the company sees opportunities, as Mindanao strengthens its role in national food production and supply chains.

At the summit, Globe Business presented what it calls its Intelligent Transformation vision. The event included interactive demonstrations on network infrastructure, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and application programming interfaces, with possible uses in agriculture, logistics, financial services and real estate, according to the report.

Estrella said the company aims to provide the connectivity and technology support Mindanao firms need to expand beyond regional markets. "Every customer is an important customer for us," he said.
