The Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) will be inaugurating the country’s first innovation hub on February 18, 2021.

 


Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato T. Dela Peña, together with Undersecretary for R&D Dr. Rowena Cristina L. Guevara, and ITDI Director Dr. Annabelle V. Briones, will be opening to the public the Modular Multi-Industry Innovation Center (MMIC) or “InnoHub sa Pinas” located at the CED and MMIC Building at the Department of Science and Technology Complex in Taguig City.

 

The MMIC is one of several projects supported by the Science Department, through the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).

 

With MMIC, the Philippines is joining the ranks of Canada, Malaysia, and Mexico in setting up an Innovation Hub for advanced scale up of researches on food and nutraceutical products.

 

The aim is to give back to Filipinos the experience and way of work and life that is made more functional, efficient, and cost-effective because of science.

 

MMIC or “InnoHub sa Pinas” is the Department’s platform to innovate and meet growing industry demands. It is ITDI’s core R&D facility, which uses manufacturing by-products as raw materials, otherwise known as “backend innovation.” It is equipped with modular equipment that are multi-functional. ITDI can retrofit these machines for use by different manufacturing lines, using both manual and automated processing.

 

These facilities, complete with handling support equipment, can be used by the local industry sectors as a venue for developing new products, product equivalents, product variances, and product reintroductions, as well as, pilot capacity production.’

 

And so while the country is slightly hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, ITDI continues to pursue ways to boost industry competitiveness even at the backend.

More than 80% Occupancy for KMV's VIVE Montojo Project

Given the opportunity and choice,  who would not want to stay in an  environment-friendly residence like VIVE Montejo?

Yet to be completed this March 2021 but is almost completely occupied, announced its developer, KMV Asia Development, Inc.  VIVE Montejo is the  the residence of choice for start-up families.





The property officially broke ground only in the middle of 2019, but has already exceeded expectations with around 35 units of its 40-unit capacity being sold to interested unit owners.



Architect Kaydee Marie O. Velasco (KMV), founder and chief executive officer of KMV Asia, says that this signifies a shift in what families want for their homes.
