Subic-Clark Alliance for Development Joins Mastercard’s City Possible Program to Address Urban Challenges

The Subic-Clark Alliance for Development (SCAD) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Mastercard to join the company’s City Possible™ program. Connecting with a network of more than 300 member and candidate cities around the world, the partnership aims to drive greater infrastructural efficiencies, economic growth, digital and financial inclusion in the Subic-Clark corridor.

The SCAD council ensures an integrated approach to the development of the Subic-Clark corridor located in Luzon, marking it as a strategic geographical zone that is experiencing both extensive growth and significant urbanization-related challenges. With excellent air, sea and land connectivity, the area is primed to be the premiere gateway to a range of international and local connections. 

This partnership will see Mastercard and SCAD leverage technology and data to develop and implement solutions for the Alliance’s pressing urban challenges such as digitization of local government units and enhancement of the agricultural supply chain. The collaboration aims to elevate SCAD’s ambitions to be a digital innovation leader and to connect with regional and global partners to co-create and develop sustainable solutions that will benefit residents.
