IN recent years, several breakthroughs and innovative products and services have been developed by our Filipino scientists and engineers to provide timely solutions to some of the country's pressing problems and limitations. After years of working in the laboratories and fields, every researcher is aiming to see their respective research and development (R&D) products land in the market and are actually being used by many Filipinos.

The Department of Science and Technology (DoST), through the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) and the Department of Trade Industry (DTI), through the Board of Investments have been working together to introduce these R&D products and services to different industry players and potential investors.
