Local entrepreneurs now have more channels to help them further reach potential clients. With the launch of the Department of Science and TechnologyTechnology Application and Promotion Institute’s  two publications, entrepreneurs who availed of DOST support now have more market opportunities.

“I hope everyone here is as excited as I am to marvel at the collection of DOST-assisted innovations in ‘Kalipunan: Compendium of DOST Technologies’, to be inspired by stories of entrepreneurial success in the ‘Compendium of Successful TAPI-Assisted Projects Under Venture Financing Program,” said DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña in a speech delivered by Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara.

Homegrown innovators recently staged innovative products to prospective investors even as the Department of Science and Technology gave the biggest push for this convergence.

Said convergence, dubbed “Leaders in Innovation Fellowship (LIF) Demo Day”, was held recently at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati City by the Royal Academy of Engineering and AIM, with support from DOST.
