CONFERENCE the

The DOST-PCAARRD National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Program is one of the strategies identified by the DOST-PCAARRD to support technology transfer and innovation, anchored on the DOST Technology Transfer Protocol, Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022, Philippine Technology Transfer Act (RA 10055), Philippine Innovation Act (RA 11293), and Innovative Startup Act (RA 11337). This Program is established to encourage, support, and nurture the development of mature Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources (AANR) – based technologies into viable commercial agribusiness ventures for economic development. The program was also formulated to help the process of nurturing business start-ups. As of 2022, there are 22 ATBIs that are being supported by the DOSTPCAARRD ATBI Program in the Philippines, one of which is the Forest Product Research and Development Institute (FPRDI) while the rest are universitybased incubators. These university-based incubators are lodged in Benguet State University (BSU), Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Visayas State University (VSU), University of the Philippines- Visayas (UPV), Isabela State University (ISU), Cavite State University (CvSU), Capiz State University (CapSU), Central Mindanao University (CMU), Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU), Laguna State Polytechnic University (LSPU), Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU), Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), Western Philippines University (WPU), Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (MMSU), University of Southern Mindanao (USM), Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU), Ifugao State University (IFSU), Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), Cebu Technological University (CTU), University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP), and Bicol University (BU). As the program lead, the BSU Agribased Technology Business Incubator/ Innovation Center implements DOST PCAARRD projects, namely: (1) ATBI Networking and Capacity Building Phase 2, (2) Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubator (AATBI) Phase 2, and (3) Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) Program in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), all of which contributed to the implementation of this conference. The 2nd National Conference on Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubators in the Philippines and the 1st Incubatee Summit is conducted with the tagline, “Incubate. Innovate. Collaborate. Consolidate.”, and theme, “Celebrating Agri-Aqua TBIs: Innovations and Networking Towards High Impact”. To strengthen the agri-aqua technology business incubation ecosystem, it brings together the ATBI project teams, the incubatees, the industry, and stakeholders in the public and private sectors to share experiences, to boost the partnerships, and strengthen relationships towards the goal of enterprise creation for socio-economic development.

MESSAGE

delivered as a KEYNOTE MESSAGE on November 24, 2022

Good day everyone! Thank you Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora for the kind introduction, and congratulations to DOST-PCAARRD and the Benguet State University (BSU) for holding the 2nd National AgriAqua Technology Business Incubation (ATBI) Conference and the 1st Incubatee Summit. To our partners in the industry and S&T community, esteemed guests and speakers, it’s my pleasure to celebrate with you our fruitful collaborations in this momentous event. With DOST being at the forefront of innovation, we capitalized on the development, transfer, and commercialization of governmentsupported and locally-developed technologies to support the local industry’s productivity. One DOST offers various initiatives for wealth creation and protection, and skills enhancement geared towards maximum economic and social benefits for the people. The National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation or ATBI Program is one of our strategies to achieve this mission. Under this program, we aim to nurture start-ups to produce successful technology-based enterprises that can create a niche in the market. Since its inception, we have witnessed how the ATBI Program opened opportunities to help us attain the synergy of innovation and entrepreneurship – bringing research outputs generated in laboratories to the marketplace. Of course, this will not be possible without the active partnership and collaboration among the significant actors and stakeholders who play a crucial role in boosting technology commercialization and developing a competitive and sustainable innovation ecosystem. On that note, I am very excited that this conference serves as a platform where all relevant stakeholders from the industry, academe, and the government convene and explore potential collaborative efforts to power up entrepreneurial opportunities from S&T innovations. Yesterday, we have seen how our ATBIs “tech their technologies to the Next Level: the ATBI way”. That is by Accelerating agribusiness practices, carrying out Trade innovations, and creating Business and technology synergy for Inclusive economic growth. In all these, we see the engagement and collaboration of the private sector in our activities as a critical factor to create a robust entrepreneurial environment in the country as we all put our stakes in making the Philippines become a start-up region within ASEAN. We at DOST are always open to new partnerships and collaborations, for we believe that together, we can build a competitive agri-aqua innovation ecosystem that maximizes the potential of every S&T creations. With that, I will not delay everyone’s excitement any longer and I hope that today’s event will be able to spread the spirit of collaboration and partnership. Together, let us aim for more dynamic and rewarding milestones in improving the lives of our countrymen. Let us all work as ONE for the people – ONE DOST FOR YOU. Thank you.

delivered as a CLOSING MESSAGE on November 24, 2022

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful time as we conclude the second day of this momentous occasion. To our distinguished guests: Baguio City Mayor Benjamin E. Magalong; La Trinidad Mayor Romeo K. Salda; and BSU President Felipe S. Comila; to our partners and speakers from the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Agricultural Research; Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Small and Medium Enterprise Development; Department of Labor and Employment; Commission on Higher Education; and Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry; to my fellow colleagues from the different DOST agencies: Secretary Renato U. Solidum, Jr.; PCAARRD Executive Director Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora; PCIEERD Technology Transfer and Commercialization Division Chief Ms. Russel M. Pili; and to PCAARRD TTPD Team led by Director Noel A. Catibog, we are all grateful for the knowledge and information that you have shared with us today. Also, our sincerest gratitude to our resource persons from Thailand, Dr. Santiwa Pithakpol, Director of Innovation and Technology Transfer of the University of Phayao; and Prof. Nophea Sasaki of the Asian Institute of Technology, thank you for sharing your time and expertise. We are looking forward to future collaborations with you. The Department of Science and Technology is fully committed in bringing the S&T innovations to the ground level to make direct impacts to the community. As such, we continue to intensify our thrust on technology transfer, technopreneurship, and innovation by enhancing and sustaining an entrepreneurial culture and encourage Filipinos to start their business ventures with the help and support of our various technology commercialization platforms, such as the Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Program. Through the Agri-Aqua TBI program, we intend to create pathways where local innovations flourish in the marketplace and become key drivers of progress. This conference served not only as a venue for all of us to learn the experiences of our partners and speakers in establishing a TBI, but also to recognize the hardwork and commitment of our Agri-Aqua TBIs in taking on the challenge of becoming a “start-up enabler” leading to rewarding milestones that we are now celebrating. As we shift towards the new normal, we look at the ATBIs as among the frontliners in the promotion and commercialization of our agri-aqua innovations. To the investors or potential collaborators with us today, I do hope you’ll find the ATBI program as something that you want to be part of, and eventually become our partners. DOST fully supports the development of enabling strategic partnerships with various institutions who share the same goal of making S&T solutions available and accessible to all. As I close, let me congratulate and commend the members of the Agri-Aqua TBI team led by Dr. Ruth C. Diego for successfully organizing this conference. We hope that this activity served as a platform for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and networking to create a greater impact to the S&T industry. To everyone, there is still one more exciting day left in this celebration. Tomorrow, you are in for more as our incubatees present their budding businesses out of various AANR innovations. To our guests from the industry, I am hopeful that you will find the technology that you resonate with and be future partners of these budding start-ups. May we continue to recognize that innovation will continue to take the center stage as we break the mold in agribusiness and entrepreneurship. Together, let us seize and harness the entrepreneurial environment that has been set up to build more technology-empowered agribusiness enterprises. Mabuhay ang agham at agrikultura!

2nd National Conference on Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation and 1st Incubatee Summit

MESSAGE

delivered as a KEYNOTE MESSAGE on November 25, 2022

Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat. It is an honor to be invited to deliver the inspirational message today at the 2nd National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Conference and 1st Incubatee Summit of the ATBIs and incubatees of DOST-PCAARRD. I would like to acknowledge the presence of Hon. Marquez O. Go, Congressman of the Lone District of Baguio; Dr. Nancy A. Bantog, the DOST Cordillera Administrative Region’s (CAR) Regional Director; Yummyverse Corporation President/CEO Mr. Marvin Jay M. Cuyugan; and PCAARRD Deputy Executive Director Dr. Melvin B. Carlos who will share the closing message this afternoon. DOST is fully committed to driving the local industry to succeed. One DOST offers various programs for wealth creation and protection, as well as skills enhancement to boost economic development. Of course, ATBI is one of the best examples among our many programs, as it is the best avenue to diffuse the technologies generated through government-supported research and development (R&D) initiatives. Through the ATBIs, we nurture budding businesses and entrepreneurs and at the same time, provide an opportunity for our researchers to realize that their endeavors have the potential to reach the market and their intended beneficiaries, thereby inspiring a culture that prioritizes and appreciates innovation. A startup or incubatee will not be successful by simply having a visionary leader or impressive technology. Investors, industry partners, employees, customers, and the government—these are all relevant stakeholders who need to be actively involved for our country to have a successful start-up ecosystem. That’s why at DOST, especially at the regional level, we value collaboration, and this is also why I agree with this event’s theme: “Incubate. Innovate. Collaborate. Consolidate,” because innovation is not enough—We need to come together as industry players to make sure that our countrymen will benefit from what the brightest minds have spent a long time making in their respective researches. We also see the engagement and collaboration of the private sector in our activities as a critical factor in creating a robust entrepreneurial environment in the country as we all put our stakes in making the Philippines become a startup region within ASEAN. Now, what’s a better way to spark collaboration other than our partners’ presentation of their technologies? Today, we will witness the “elevator pitches” of our partners and the Gallery Walk of industry partners. With that, I look forward to the new partnerships that will be forged from this momentous event. Before I end my message, I would like to thank and congratulate the Benguet State University (BSU) ATBI project team led by Dr. Ruth C. Diego for the conduct of the 2nd ATBI National Conference and 1st Incubatee Summit. It has certainly been an interesting journey since the start of the ATBI, and we at DOST are eager to support its upward growth in the coming years. To the ATBI project leaders, staff, incubatees, and partners, it’s a pleasure to be working alongside all of you for the enhancement of our innovation ecosystem. Sama-sama po tayong magtulungan upang ang Agham ang maging sandigan ng kaunlaran ng ating bayan. Muli, magandang umaga at maraming salamat.

MESSAGE

delivered as an OPENING MESSAGE on November 24, 2022

Good morning everyone! I am glad to be with you today as we recognize the innovations and collaborations of our incubators, incubatees and partners that led us to many breakthroughs, with this endeavor as a milestone one. I would like to thank everyone who stayed with us as we head towards the second day of the 2nd National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Conference and 1st Incubatee Summit. Allow me to recognize the commitment and effort of the BSU-ATBI team, headed by Dr. Ruth C. Diego, and the BSU management led by Dr. Felipe Salaing Comila. Thank you for being our hand in cascading the initiative of the ATBI Program. I would like to acknowledge our colleagues from the Science and Technology (S&T) community; DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum, Jr. and DOST Undersecretary Leah J. Buendia, who will deliver their messages later, and to the DOST-PCAARRD Technology Transfer and Promotion Division (TTPD) team, headed by Dir. Noel A. Catibog. More so, allow me to recognize the presence of the Baguio City Mayor, Hon. Benjamin E. Magalong, and the La Trinidad Mayor, Hon. Romeo K. Salda. Thank you for lending your time and effort to join us in this endeavor. I would also like to extend my gratitude to our partner agencies; Philippine Information Agency (PIA-Cordillera Administrative Region), the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR), the Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Small and Medium Enterprise Development (DTI-BSMED), and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI). To the ATBI project teams, incubatees, innovators, and officials of the participating state universities and colleges, and research and development institutes, we appreciate your support as we establish a thriving Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation (ATBI) community. I am also excited to hear from our foreign presenters from Thailand, Dr. Santiwat Pithakpol of the University of Phayao and Prof. Nophea Sasaki of the Asian Institute of Technology. We are looking forward to learning from, and maybe, adopting the best practices being done by neighboring countries in reinvigorating science and technology innovations for wealth creation. It has been three years since we held the 1st National Conference on Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation here in Baguio as well, where we had more than 200 participants and guests from all over the country. Even with the occurence of the Covid-19 pandemic, we continued our drive to pursue a brighter agri-aqua innovation ecosystem Last year, we were able to launch various initiatives such as the ATBI Real-time Monitoring System, and the Agri-Aqua Business Incubation Network of the Philippines, Incorporated or AABINPhil, Inc. We believe that these initiatives paved the way to foster a synchronized knowledge management hub, and the further development of ATBIs in the country through networking and capacity building. Recognizing the importance of collaboration taking place, we were able to pursue the co-incubation program in which an ATBI collaborates to assist startups and open more opportunities to other ATBIs. DOST-PCAARRD is bracing itself for the changes that shall take place as the Council involves various players, stakeholders, and community members to intensify its efforts in creating a vibrant innovation ecosystem. To give context, the Council is now implementing the Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) Program, a four-component program that includes Regional Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IP-TBM), ATBI, Knowledge Management (KM) Hub, and Agri-Aqua Business Hub. RAISE Program is an initiative that aims to establish centers in the region that will serve as a mirror-image of the DOST-PCAARRD Innovation and Technology Center (DPITC). Through the RAISE Program, we were able to establish two (2) more ATBIs in Bicol University (BU), and University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP). The Council also started the implementation of the DOST Startup Grant Fund (DOST-SGF), a program that aims to scale up technology adoption and accelerate innovation. DOST-SGF supports the upscaled operations of both PCAARRD and non-PCAARRD supported innovative enterprises towards full technology commercialization. ATBI has grown so much in the past years, and it will continue to grow further in the next succeeding years. I believe that these aspirations will only be possible through your help. As we always say, the P and C in PCAARRD also stand for “Partnership” and “Collaboration”, and we believe that this endeavor will serve as a platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and networking to create a greater impact to the S&T industry. May we all be inspired to work together as we gear towards a competitive agriculture, aquatic, and natural resource ecosystem where science and people meet. Sama-sama tayong magtulungan para sa isang malikhain, angkop, at makabagong Agrikultura ng Pilipinas. Once again, thank you everyone at magandang agham po sa ating lahat!

2nd National Conference on Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation and 1st Incubatee Summit

MESSAGE

delivered as a CLOSING MESSAGE on November 25, 2022

Magandang hapon po sa lahat. As we conclude the 1st Incubatee Summit with a day packed with presentations from our partners, a rich exchange of ideas and insights during the forum, and of course, the inspirational message from the Yummyverse Corporation President/CEO Mr. Marvin Jay M. Cuyugan, allow me to thank everyone who stayed with us in this afternoon’s event and recognize the efforts of those who contributed to the success of today’s celebration led by BSU team. Your efforts are appreciated as convening the different ATBI stakeholders in one setting for the biggest celebration of the ATBI program yet after the pandemic is, without question, a challenge. Palakpakan po natin silang lahat. I am delighted to once again meet the ATBI groups and their incubatees. I would also like to recognize DOST Usec. for Regional Operations Dr. Sancho A. Mabborang; Hon. Marquez O. Go, Congressman of the Lone District of Baguio; and Dr. Nancy A. Bantog, the DOST Cordillera Administrative Region’s (CAR) Regional Director. Thank you po for joining us today to deliver your messages. Over the years since we started the journey of strengthening our technology transfer and commercialization efforts, our data claim that we have been making a dent in the innovation ecosystem. However, nagsisimula pa lamang po ang laban. This year, after the continuous trend of upward development of the Philippines’ standing on the Global Innovation Index (GII), our country dipped by eight (8) slides. I want you all to know that this shouldn’t be frowned upon, as a lot of factors at play were considered, and that includes the pandemic which affected most of our stakeholders’ operations and processes nationwide. Still, let this be our reminder to keep pushing forward. As we go through the years, the Council is starting to be more exploratory in determining new avenues to encourage our budding entrepreneurs. Aside from the Startup Grant Fund program which has been signed into law to deliver direct support to our startups, we also have the Agri-Aqua Innovation Challenge, a collaboration with the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) and the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP). The 1-year Challenge is a collaboration among the industry, academe, and government that aims to support start-ups to manage their agri-businesses better and enhance their innovation journey through funding support and expert mentorship. Last November 9, we recognized the winners of said Challenge under our project at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). The Challenge crowned Kamino Algae, a startup offering algal paste to aquaculture hatcheries, as the grand prize winner under the Startup Category. Kamino Algae won the PHP 1 million grand prize among the nine other finalists in the first innovation challenge which aims to solve the country’s problems in agriculture and aquaculture. On the other hand, AquaGenTech Company which carries the JAmp-WSSV System, a diagnostic kit that detects White Spot Syndrome Virus for Shrimp won the grand prize of PHP 400,000 in the Students Category. In the 2nd Agri-Aqua Innovation Challenge next year, we hope that one or two of our incubatees who may qualify for the said project will be among the winners. These are just some of my hopes for all of you, aside of course from success in your respective ventures. To our investors, thank you for giving us your time today despite your busy schedule. We at PCAARRD are always looking forward to seeing our partners develop a connection with the private sector. We recognize that our partnership with you is one of the key pillars of a strong innovation system. Lastly, I congratulate everyone on the success of the 1st Incubatee Summit here in Baguio. With all of these activities, the vibrant showcase of the innovations, and the people that rally behind them for them to reach the market, I can say that makulay ang agham at teknolohiya sa ATBI. We hope to see you all again on the next one and maybe sa Agri-Aqua Innovation Pitch Fest next month, December 6 at the Acacia Hotel, Alabang. Muli, magandang hapon sa lahat at enjoy the rest of the evening.

delivered as an OPENING MESSAGE on November 23, 2022

Magandang umaga po sa lahat! I am grateful and privileged to be with you today as we celebrate another milestone of the Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation (ATBI) or ATBI program — the 2nd National Conference on Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation and 1st Incubatee Summit. Allow me to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who lent their precious time to be part of this momentous event. To Benguet Province Governor, Hon. Melchor D. Diclas; Dr. Kal Kalayanamitra of Maejo Agro-Food Park (MAP); Mr. Peter Ng of the Philippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Hotel Supreme; to our media partner from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) - Cordillera Administrative Region, Ms. Helen R. Tibaldo; to all the key officials, consortium directors, investors, and technology transfer officers, we appreciate your effort to be with us in this endeavor. The previous years have been quite an exciting time for the ATBI community. During our journey together, we celebrated milestones and victories with our ATBI and their incubatees, and our collaboration led us to launch various initiatives and undertakings. ATBI has been at the forefront of providing valuable infrastructure that hastens the commercialization of mature agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources (AANR) technologies. From the operationalization of six (6) ATBIs during its inception year to the empowerment of 22 ATBIs, we were able to support innovative startups by providing administrative support and assistance in technology management, business development, marketing, networking, and shared access to work facilities and equipment that helped our incubatees leverage their productivity. Furthermore, the ATBI was able to roll out 92 AANR innovations as viable agribusinesses, which cater to 324 incubatees who generated P68.7 million revenue and created 1,603 jobs. These incubatees are now operating their respective businesses with technical and managerial support from the ATBIs. Recognizing these gains, PCAARRD has supported the creation of the Agri-Aqua Business Incubation Network of the Philippines, Incorporation or AABINPhil, Inc. in 2021, headed by Dr. Ruth C. Diego of Benguet State University, which will foster the development and sustainability of ATBIs. AABINPhil, Inc. has now been recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a registered corporation. Despite facing challenges due to the pandemic, ATBI persisted in translating AANR inventions into innovations. Through the GALING-PCAARRD Kontra CoViD-19 Program, the ATBIs and their incubatees collaborated to carry out a number of relief operations aimed at assisting the local community. The pandemic also shed light on the importance of the use of new technology and media in promoting S&T innovations and interventions. As we aspired to cater to a wider network and boost our technology commercialization efforts, we launched the ATBI website, a real-time monitoring system, and a one-stop source of information on our ATBIs, incubatees, and technologies, among others. Indeed, we’ve had a hectic yet fruitful path throughout our ATBI journey. Of course, this will not be possible without the unwavering commitment and dedication of our ATBIs. We at PCAARRD, are grateful and proud of our expanding ATBI family. Later, we will hear from our ATBI project leaders on what transpired during their day-to-day ATBI operations. I believe we are all intrigued and eager to learn about the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. Above all, I think that the biggest challenge is the sustainability of the ATBI program, and I believe that we will overcome this if we work together towards our ultimate goal, which is to produce highly innovative agri-aqua enterprises that will leave the incubation program financially viable to sustain their operations and compete in the market. May this endeavor be a catalyst for strengthened collaboration and partnership towards the pursuit of a thriving innovation ecosystem. Sama-sama tayong magtulungan para sa isang malikhain, angkop, at makabagong Agrikultura ng Pilipinas. Muli, magandang umaga at maraming salamat po!

MESSAGE

delivered as a WELCOME MESSAGE on November 24, 2022

I am one with the whole BSU community and family in extending our congratulations and felicitations to the organizers of the 2nd National AgriAqua Technology Business Incubation Conference and 1st Incubatee Summit on November 23-25, 2022 at the Newtown Plaza Hotel, Baguio City with the tagline, “Incubate. Innovate. Collaborate. Consolidate. These are not only the buzz words of today’s survival but also the needs of time even as we continue to grapple with the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. This year’s theme, “Celebrating Agri-Aqua TBIs: Innovations and Networking Towards High Impact” aims to strengthen agri-aqua technology business incubation (ATBI) ecosystem and serves as an avenue to share best practices among stakeholders. Specifically, it intends to boost the partnership of 22 ATBIs and industries; showcase the incubatees’ technologies and products through exhibits; and promote collaboration and networking among incubates/accelerates with private and public organizations as they create new enterprises. As I welcome you all to this auspicious event, I would like to share what Benguet State University is practicing to bolster its quest to become SUC level 5, to attain National College of Highland Agriculture and Environment, and to offer College of Medicine and on Entrepreneurship. Noticeably, we are manifesting a Premier University where strong and innovative leadership is visible, where everyone is primed to take full responsibility and have a shared vision for sustainable development. Recently, BSU had its ISO re-certification external audit and by all indications, the University is primed to maintain that certification, subject to compliance with the auditor’s suggestions. My short message delves in the 5S formula: 1. SPREADING. Spreading is sharing. The effective utilization of limited resources on networks is of prime significance in diverse contexts, ranging from identification of “influential spreaders” for maximizing information dissemination and targeted interventions in regulatory networks, to the development of mitigation policies, and the like. The optimal distribution of available resources hence results from an interplay between network topology and spreading dynamics. 2. STEERING. Generally speaking, managers will administer the ideas of the leader. A leader will strive to innovate and champion new work policy, they will steer the direction of the business and have a level of courage that is required for inspired leadership. Imagine leaders as trendsetters and managers are those who follow those trends, making sure the workforce adheres to those trends. 3. SHIFTING. Scientific revolutions are not a matter of incremental advance; they involve "paradigm shifts." Important change can happen when the usual way of thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way. Managers can develop innovations to initiate a paradigm shift. When a new technology or business model comes along, that dramatically alters the nature of demand and competition; a shift in the paradigm is imperative. 4. SOARING. In order for you to soar like an eagle, you need to release yourself from anything that is weighing you down. You cannot soar like an eagle if you have the mindset of a turkey. If you don’t believe you can fly, certainly you will not. If you don’t believe you are capable of soaring to the top of your own mountain peak in life, you will never try and therefore never succeed. If you’re surrounded by turkeys, start to limit the interaction and soar instead. 5. STORMING. If you have weights tied to your legs or if you have things that are weighing you down and preventing you from taking off, it’s now time to release those shackles. Set yourself free so you can fly. You were born to fly, to dominate in life, to make your own decisions, to walk your own path. Learn to surmount the seemingly insurmountable challenges in life. As we continue to build networks and innovate for high impacts, let us learn to listen in the depths of our heart to the voice of God, the voice of our conscience. This will tell us what God wants from us in every moment. Let us live well what God asks of us in the present moment. “Just as one dot after another makes a line, one moment after another makes our life.” Once again, my congratulations to the National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Conference and the very people behind the staging of this noble undertaking.

Matago tago tako am-in! (Long live, everyone!)

2nd National Conference on Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation and 1st Incubatee Summit

MESSAGE

delivered as a WELCOME MESSAGE on November 24, 2022

To our Keynote Speaker, DOST Sec. Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr … distinguished guests, resource persons, fellow servants in government and the private sector, a pleasant morning to all of us… On behalf of the Municipality of La Trinidad, Province of Benguet, I wish to extend our warmest greetings and congratulations to the organizers of and participants to the 2nd National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Conference and the 1st Incubatee Summit with the theme: “Celebrating Agri-Aqua TBIs: Innovations and Networking Towards High Impact. We are grateful to DOST-PCAARRD, Benguet State University and all other agencies and institutions for continuing to provide a supportive environment that enable our technopreneurships in the agriculture and fishery sectors to flourish and encourage others to do the same. Judging by the string of success stories that reach our end, there is indeed a lot to celebrate about our Agri-Aqua TBIs. As a result, our communities are benefitting in profound ways. No doubt, this would only have been made possible through an avenue such as this, a Conference where we can harness potential, foster robust interaction, capacitate stakeholders and increase client awareness – staying true to the tagline: Incubate. Innovate. Collaborate. Consolidate. Innovation is vital to business. Collaboration is key to a vibrant Agri-Aqua community. Successful technology transfer translates into successful businesses. And as I pore through the Program, I am sure our participants will benefit more from the sharing of best practices and challenges from our capable speakers than a lengthy welcome address. Allow me thus to warmly welcome each and everyone of you present here today. Enjoy the cool climate and even more so, our warm, hospitable people. Thank you very much and God bless.

It is my honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2nd National conference on Agri Aqua Technology Business Incubation and 1st Incubatee Summit with the theme “Celebrating Agri-aqua TBIs: Innovations and Networking Towards High Impact” in Benguet, we have this dance called the “bendian” which involves the village circling and dancing around the leader while executing various arm movements. It is performed for various reasons, some of which are to heal a prolonged illness, relieve natural calamities such as famine and drought or to celebrate a bountiful harvest. We hope to perform this dance during the socio-cultural night of the conference because this event is a celebration of our healing, resilience and success. We celebrate our resilience to the covid 19 pandemic, our success despite it, and our healing from it. At its peak, it seemed like we couldn’t do anything. We couldn’t travel, go outside, and see each other. Now look at us, we are better than ever. Even with the challenges, we did not remain stagnant but rather grew and evolved from 6 ATBIs in 2017 to 16 ATBIs in 2019, and to 22 ATBIs today. This year also marks the start of the Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) Program that will mirror the functions and initiatives of the Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) Innovation and Technology Center in the regions by providing assistance to the regional consortia on intellectual property management and transfer of technologies. This event will be a 3-day celebration of the ATBI and our accomplishments.The 2nd National ATBI Conference will have 2 days. The first day shall be the ATBI day wherein we shall hear from the project leaders of the 1st batch of the ATBI Program who are also the Founders of the Agri Aqua Business Incubation Network of the Philippines or AABINPhil, Inc. They shall share their best practices and challenges in various aspects of establishing and managing an Agri Aqua Technology Business Incubator. We shall hear from the DOST-TTPD that continually nurtures the ATBIs. Our speaker from Thailand shall share their experiences in agribusiness incubation. From industry, let us listen and learn about where we aspire our incubatees to join. The 2nd day will be dedicated to our staunch partners. As newly establishing ATBIs, we rely on them for funding, networks, linkages, mentoring and expertise. Let us be inspired by foreign and local partners with their support and experiences on technology business incubation. On the 3rd day, for the very first time, we will conduct the 1st Incubatee Summit which will allow our incubatees to network and showcase their technologies and products through an exhibit and pitch. This day will also have the incubatees, industry, and other stakeholders share ideas and form linkages to grow their enterprises. To showcase our cultures and have a good time, we will also have the AABINPhil Night and Socio-Cultural Night. I believe that modern development through the ATBI should not mean forgetting our culture and community identity, but rather be a medium and inspiration towards impact. Together as one ATBI community, let us celebrate the ATBIs, incubatees, and partners in development! Once again, welcome to the 2nd National conference on Agri Aqua Technology Business Incubation and 1st Incubatee Summit. I hope your experience here will be inspirational and fruitful.

Mapteng ja agsafa son sikayon emin! Good morning to you all!

Development of the Maejo University Business Incubator and Agro Food Park Kal Kalayanamitra1, Panomporn Chalermwan2 and Patheepchon Chailert2 1 Director, Maejo Agro-Food Park 2 Deputy Director, Maejo Agro-Food Park Maejo Agro-Food Park, Maejo University 63 M.4 Nong-Han, San-Sai, Chiang Mai 50290, Thailand Tel: 66-53875635 Email: [email protected] Abstract The university business incubators (UBI) in Thailand have been established in 2005 with support from the office of higher education commission (OHEC). Currently, Thai UBI is divided into 9 networks which consisted of 83 UBI. The purpose of UBI was to create new entrepreneurs from the student, alumni, and university staff based on the research and technology of the university. Thai UBI separates the incubation program into 2 stages, start-up and spin-off stages. Each stage has a period of 2 years which is evaluated every 6 months. Maejo University Business Incubator (MJUBI) participated in the first generation of 12 UBIs in 2005 and were members of the upper north network. In 2013, MJUBI was involved in the project of a regional science park (RSP) with support from the ministry of science and technology. MJUBI is a co-founder member of the northern science park (NSP), a network from a total of 4 networks in Thailand. At present, there are 44 university science parks (USP) in total. NSP aims to stimulate the creation of new technology businesses and be linked to building the ecosystem to promote innovation development between the academy, government, private sector, and community. The technology business incubator (TBI) platform is 1 of 5 original platforms of RSP including service, TBI, IRTC, co-research, and infrastructure platforms. TBI has a period of 3 years of the incubation program which is evaluated at graduation time. However, with a mission that goes beyond business incubation, MJUBI is transforming to be Maejo Agro-Food Park (MAP) in 2019. After more than 17 years of operation. The results of 185 jobs in 69 businesses with revenues of more than PHP 190 million, increased investment by PHP 85 million, and decreased imports of PHP 92 million. MAP training business knowledge to the student, alumni, university staff, and people of more than 11,000 persons. In addition, MAP promotes and encourages the university to cooperate in research work with the private sector in order to create innovations that are needed by the private sector which will result in the utilization of those innovations for commercial purposes. MAP together with the private sector has offered a research fund of over PHP 62 million, and as a result, private sector and community enterprises have jointly invested with the university more than PHP 23 million in cash and cash equivalents of more than PHP 50 million.

Best Practice and Challenges in Establishing and Sustaining the ATBI Ruth C. Diego Director, Benguet State University Agribased Technology Business Incubator/Innovation Center La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines [email protected] Abstract The Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) through its National Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation Program strengthened and established six Agi-Aqua Technology Business Incubators (ATBIs) in 2017, eight in 2018, two in 2020, four in 2021 and two in 2022 for a total of 22 ATBIs today. Benguet State University was tasked to lead the group through a project for coordination, management, and capability building to support their activities, ensure the successful and harmonized implementation of activities, and monitor the milestones and accomplishments of the ATBI ecosystem in the country. Some best practices in establishing and sustaining the ATBI are institutionalized operation, provision of physical facilities, curriculum development, periodic assessment of incubatee performance, maintaining a pool of technology mentors and business coaches, offering university and non-university technologies, accepting incubatee’s technologies and innovations, providing Intellectual Property management services and market linkages, and establishing the Agri-Aqua Business Incubation Network of the Philippines, Inc. (AABINPhil. Inc.) for common networking and capacity building activities. Some challenges include a limited number of full-time ATBI staff, unclear delineation of tasks under offices in Research, Extension, and Training services, limited financial capacity of start-ups to proceed with incubation, limited face-to-face activities due to the pandemic, lack of entrepreneurial mindset and unwillingness of researchers to commercialize technologies they generated, limited time of experts for mentoring and coaching, and partnerships with private and public entities take time to establish. Since most of the ATBIs are relatively new, it is also a challenge to have incubatees graduated and their enterprises launched as startups or spinoffs. Establishing an ATBI is a long and laborious process that requires a substantial amount of financial, technical, physical, and human resource investments. ATBIs can develop and flourish by building a strong management team, and getting support from the host agency and a strong ecosystem.

Best Practice and Challenges in Incubatee Recruitment Efren L. Linan, Ph.D Project Staff, ATBI Vice-President for Research Development and Extension, Capiz State University Abstract The Capiz State University - Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubator (CAPSU-ATBI) was made possible through the funding of the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST - PCAARRD) to commercialize the technologies and output of local agri-aqua research and development (R&D) inputs. The operation of the CAPSU ATBI under the Research, Development and Extension (RDE) Office was institutionalized in August 2018 and was inaugurated on April 8, 2019. Incubatee prospecting and attracting process is a critical component of technology business incubation to ensure that value for resources can be achieved while securing a right fit with the incubatee and the objectives of the incubation program. Staff selection, communication and community strategies, early entrepreneurial linkages and clear goals are main aspects of an effective client recruitment system for a business incubator. Ultimately, a positive recruitment strategy is the showcase of successful incubatees.

From Lab to Market: CLSU AFTBI as a Support Mechanism for Spin-off Pablo J. Rafael, Jr., Ph.D. Project Leader, AFTBI Central Luzon State University Science City of Muñoz Nueva Ecija, Philippines Abstract For more than a decade, the CLSU Agriculture and Food Technology Business Incubator (CLSU-AFTBI) has been assisting entrepreneurs on increasing the survival rate of their innovative start-up businesses through offering packages of specialized services on production and processing technologies of various commodities, i.e., rice, tilapia, goat, mango, mushroom, vegetables and dairy carabao which are relevant to the country’s economic development. These engagements contribute to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals particularly SDGs 1 (No Poverty), 2 (Zero Hunger), 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). CLSU-AFTBI also supports the government in the realization of AmBIsyon Natin 2040 that aspires strongly-rooted (matatag), comfortable (maginhawa) and secure (panatag) life. Envisioned to play a proactive role in developing partnerships with new enterprises for the commercialization of CLSU-developed technologies, CLSU-AFTBI has been extensively involved in regional and national economic development initiatives of the government. It fosters MSMEs development, promotes inclusive growth and uplifts the entrepreneurs’ quality of life by utilizing and commercializing the technologies of the University. For the last five years, its 45 incubatees had been able to create 149 jobs and generate a total revenue amounting to P27.047 million. From 2017 to present, CLSU has been supporting two (2) spinoffs company: VeraBella (tilapia ice cream) and Blitzkrieg (test kits). These companies have been authorized by the University to utilize its technologies through licensing, hence transforming these innovations into viable enterprises. During the pre-investment and investment phases, CLSU-AFTBI provides support in the form of access to technology, mentoring and training, access to investors/partners/financial institutions, low-cost workspace and processing facilities, access to mentors and seed capital. In the course of the implementation of the ATBI program, CLSU-AFTBI successfully addressed several pitfalls that could otherwise adversely affect the project implementation of the University and business operations of the incubatees, to wit: limited mobility vis-à-vis the pandemic; insufficient fund to upgrade the facilities, machines and equipment to respond to the needs of the clients; and insufficient ATBI personnel.
