Innovating at the Nexus of S&T and Public Policy

•  Formed in Nov 2007; mandated to review and assess S&T and R&D systems in

the country and recommend new strategies for improved global competitiveness in Science and Engineering R&D

•  Unique opportunity for the Philippines to Integrate S&T into nation’s competitiveness plan. •  A broad based strategy to become competitive - IT for Agriculture, Green Energy and Industries, High Value Electronics Services, Regenerative Medicine and Telemedicine •  We are proposing new legislation, action plans, and creating new Institutions needed to change the way we Innovate. •  Strong commitment of academe to excellence with focus on developing and commercializing technology. •  International S&T Cooperation allows us to significantly leverage our R&D Investments
