“ National Innovation Council is now developing the National Innovation Agenda and Strategy Document to be launched within the year,” NEDA said in a press release on Monday. “This document will establish the country’s 10-year vision, long-term goals, agenda, and strategies related to innovation.”
“Higher productivity will allow us to graduate from our current low middle-income country status to upper middle-income country status by the end of 2022, and high-income country status in one generation. For the Filipino people, it means living without poverty and having equal opportunities to succeed,” he said.
Under the implementing rules of the law known as the Philippine Innovation Act or Republic Act No. 11293, the strategy document will align innovation policies and projects across government agencies and local government units.
