Strengthening University Spin-offs and Innovation in the Philippines

How can we turn promising university research into innovations that create meaningful socioeconomic impact?

The Political Economy Program (PEP) of the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) and the UP Diliman Technology Transfer and Business Development Office (UPD TTBDO), in partnership with the UP College of Engineering, invite you to a “Roundtable Discussion on Spin-offs and the Commercialization of University Research.”

Building on PEP’s recently published policy brief entitled, “Accelerating Innovation: A Policy Framework for the University of the Philippines Spin-offs,” this roundtable discussion will bring together government agencies and higher education institutions to exchange insights, discuss policy recommendations, and explore ways to bridge the gap between research and commercialization.
