The region is rich in cultural heritage and natural resources and is poised to become a thriving hub of economic activity in the Philippines. Grab Philippines aims to leverage its advanced technology, extensive network of highly engaged users, and community-focused approach to unlock new possibilities for growth and prosperity. The company will collaborate with local partners, government agencies, and regulators to roll out key initiatives aimed at empowering local communities, supporting micro-entrepreneurs, and stimulating economic development.

Grab Philippines will forge strategic partnerships with local government units, community organizations, and industry associations to align efforts and create an enabling environment for economic empowerment. These collaborations will focus on areas such as skills development, access to financing, and market access for local entrepreneurs.

2. Empowering MSMEs in Mindanao: Grab Philippines recognizes the significant impact of micro-entrepreneurs on economic development. According to a study conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Mindanao contribute over 60% to the region’s total employment.

Grab Philippines will provide targeted support to micro-entrepreneurs in Mindanao, enabling them to leverage Grab’s platform to expand their businesses, access new markets, and improve their livelihoods. Through training programs via GrabMerchant Academy, Grab aims to equip micro-entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge necessary to thrive in a digital economy.

Grab has launched its flagship mobility service, GrabCar, in Davao City to help alleviate transportation challenges commuters face in Mindanao. The leading super-app aims to expand its fleet of driver-partners and meet the fast-rising demand for safe and accessible transportation.
