Other Technological Business Incubators in the Philippines...

My post on only existing business incubator was corrected.  I decided to post this as another blog.  My guess is that the comment was sent by rbf? (from DOST)  Thanks for the correction additional information.  DOST has been praised for its efforts in innovation (and also entrepreneurship).  Thank you RBF (is my guess right?)

just to add po. There are more TBIs available not just in NEC. We also have a DOST Open TBI just beside ASTI, CP Garcia St. also inside the UP Campus. Ayala has a Technohub that is located within Commonwealth Avenue. And I believe they also have one in AIM.

There are TBIs also in other regions like the one we have in Cebu (http://www.iknowryt.com/2011/03/28/cebuinit-up-cebu-dost-tbi/) and also in one Tacloban.

For manufacturing companies who are start ups you can also use the TBIs available at DOST research and development institutes. Like if you are under metals and engineering you can use MIRDC's TBI and if you are on food processing you can use FNRI's and ITDI's TBIs. You can use their spaces and their available technologies/equipment with minimal fees because you have to pay for the utilities.

But if you are a start-up and still producing small volumes this is better than investing right away with production plants and equipment. Once you get bigger you can transfer your business to your own production area.

And lastly just to inform everyone, the DOST is inviting Filipino start-up companies (operating for less than 3 years)involved in the following fields: biotechnology, nanotechnology, ICT, electronics, material science, robotics/mechatronics or combination thereof, to join the Search for 2nd Filipinnovation Award in recognition of the exemplary technological content and market viability as well as high potential socio-economic impact of these companies. This is ongoing in all regions. Awarding will in November this year.
