Globe took center stage at the International Design
Conference (IDC) 2025, co-presenting a landmark initiative aimed at narrowing
the gap between academic learning and industry demands. As part of its
commitment to youth empowerment and digital transformation through education,
Globe highlighted both students and educators in a powerful celebration of
creativity and mentorship.
Held in partnership with the Department of Trade and
Industry’s Design Center, the IDC 2025 served as a major platform for
showcasing Filipino creative talent. Globe hosted an exclusive session
featuring world-renowned author and speaker Joe Pine, attended by 76 of the
country’s top students from notable design schools in the country.
In honor of Teachers’ Month, Globe also invited the educators who mentored these students, recognizing their foundational role in shaping the future of the Philippines’ creative economy.
“This partnership reflects our belief that creativity
thrives when students and educators are equally empowered,” said Jonathan
Cristobal, Director of B2B Marketing at Globe. “Through Globe and DTI’s Design
Center, this milestone event aims to build a future-ready education ecosystem,
where innovation, mentorship, and opportunity are accessible.”
Globe’s participation at IDC 2025 underscored its
strategic role in shaping the Philippines’ creative economy, connecting top
design students with global thought leaders, championing educators as catalysts
for innovation, and reinforcing Globe Business as the trusted partner in
future-proofing education for both teachers and students.
Looking ahead, Globe plans
to deepen its collaboration with the design community through innovation
workshops, mentorship programs, and expanded access to global creative
networks. These efforts aim to build a fully connected education ecosystem,
where every student has access to world-class learning tools, every educator is
supported by intelligent technology, and every institution is future-proofed
for the digital age.
Powered by Globe Business,
the experience at IDC 2025 demonstrated how technology can support the evolving
needs of creative professionals and students alike, helping Filipinos to
#GoForIt.
