PBBM approves nat’l innovation roadmap
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved the National Innovation Agenda and Strategy Document or NIASD 2023-2032, outlining the country's plan to improve innovation governance and establish a dynamic innovation ecosystem, Malacañang said Saturday. Presidential Communications Secretary Cheloy Garafil told reporters that Marcos, who also chairs the National Innovation Council, gave the green light during the 5th NIC meeting on Friday. Garafil said the “NIASD characterizes a dynamic innovation ecosystem as one that fosters a pervasive culture of innovation driven by market demands.” The roadmap facilitates collaboration through active, reliable, and useful platforms, and provides innovation actors with the necessary facilities and resources to transform their ideas into innovative products and services. Garafil added that the NIASD will connect the innovator-entrepreneur to potential investors and funders. During the meeting with Marcos, NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, vice chairman of the NIC, said that establishing a dynamic innovation ecosystem is one of the six cross-cutting strategies in the transformation agenda identified in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 to achieve a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient society. "Chapter 8 of the PDP elaborates on this strategy by situating it within the continuum of research and development, innovation, technology adoption, then commercialization" stated Balisacan. An oath-taking ceremony for the executive members also took place shortly before the 5th NIC meeting. The NIC is a 25-member policy advisory body that comprises 16 Department Secretaries and seven Executive Members from the private sector. Aside from Balisacan, the NIC members present during the meeting were Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla, Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines Director General Rowel Barba, Scientific Community member Dr. Ria Liza Canlas, MSMEs member Mark Sultan Gersava, and Business Sector Members Monchito Ibrahim and Earl Martin Valencia.
