(MMDA/RJB/JEG/PIA- NCR) PCAARRD-DOST employs program to accelerate AANR technology transfer CALAMBA CITY, Laguna -- To rev up agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources (AANR) technology transfer for the benefit of the people, the DOST- PCAARRD spearheads the “Enhancing Technology Transfer and Commercialization of Agri- Aqua Technologies” Program. The Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development of the (DOST- PCAARD) initiated the program which intends to accelerate the impact of over 600 technologies that were product of research and development in the field of agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources. This PCAARRD- funded program comprises of five components namely (1) technology and business services, (2) e-research and knowledge management, (3) science and technology (S&T) promotion, (4) capacity building, and (5) technology roll out/deployment and strategic partnerships. Moreover, the program provides assistance to research and development institutions, and promotes sharing of S&T best practices in view of the Council’s mandate on technology transfer. PCAARRD has formulated certain systems in transferring technologies. It has classified programs and projects into technologies suitable for deployment, extension, and commercialization. According to DOST- PCAARRD Technology Transfer and Promotion Division Director Melvin B. Carlos in a briefing in March, a program shall resort to deployment and extension when effective technology utilization and adoption are influenced by non-market considerations. On the other hand, commercialization is employed for technologies that can reach users and adopters more efficiently through the market system. The crafted extension or deployment modalities of the Council are implemented in various regions in the country in partnership with AANR stakeholders in the public, academic, and private sectors. These include S&T-Based Farm (STBF), S&T Community-Based Farm (STCBF), Technomart, S&T Model Farm, and S&T Action Frintline for Emergencies and Hazards (SAFE). In the effort to heighten its recourse, the DOST- PCAARRD Innovation and Technology Center (DPITC) was established “to serve as a one- stop hub for technology owners and generators, investors, end- users and other stakeholders to facilitate the commercialization of technologies generated in the AANR sector.” DPITC furnishes the Council with a venue for implementing vital projects aimed for capacity building, determination and assessment of potential technologies for commercialization, protection of intellectual properties, and for marketing technologies.
