“The rise in our global innovation ranking to 54th from 73rd the previous year validates our work and encourages us to continue our mission to strengthen R&D across the country,” said DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña.
“The recent passage of the Philippine Innovation Act and the creation of the Philippine Space Agency will provide us a wider platform to pursue more research and to further strengthen the innovation space,” Secretary de la Pena said. The DOST, in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry and with the support of regional agencies, established RIICs in the pilot areas of Bicol, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and Southern Mindanao regions.
Through the RIICs, efforts to synergize the innovation activities of different stakeholders in the region—including universities, government institutions, S&T parks, R&D centers, startups, small and medium enterprises, large enterprises, funders—are strengthened.
