Maximizing Benefits from Investments in Science, Technology and Innovation for Development - Moving Filipinnovation Forward: Proceedings of a Roundtable Discussion


This paper documents the proceedings of the roundtable discussion "Moving Filipinnovation Forward," which explores strategies for maximizing the benefits of investments in science, technology, and innovation (STI) for national development. The study evaluates the current state of the Philippine innovation ecosystem, identifying systemic bottlenecks in research commercialization, funding, and industry-academe collaboration. Key discussions center on the implementation of the Philippine Innovation Act, the role of "Filipinnovation" in enhancing global competitiveness, and the necessity of fostering a culture of invention among the youth. By synthesizing insights from government officials, academic researchers, and private sector leaders, the proceedings provide actionable policy recommendations to streamline innovation pathways. Ultimately, the research advocates for a more integrated and inclusive STI framework that drives economic productivity and addresses pressing social challenges in the Philippines.
