agenda.

Vigorously Advancing Science,

Technology, and Innovation

By 2022, the efficiency and productivity of the
agriculture, industry, and services sectors will be
improved. New public goods and services (or how
services are delivered) will be created and improved.
These will be done through maximizing and
adopting science, technology and innovation (STI).
Table 14.1 in the full PDP 2017-2022 document
presents the targets in leveraging STI.

Strategies

Science, Technology, and Innovation ecosystem is key to long-term growth.
Technology adoption will thus be promoted and accelerated, and innovation will be
stimulated in all economic sectors to build the foundation for a globally-competitive
knowledge economy. Strategies include the following:

To increase STI utilization in agriculture, industry, and service sectors
• Promote commercialization and utilization of technologies from public-
and private-funded research and development.
• Develop a vibrant Intellectual Property Rights culture.

To increase the investments in STI-based start-ups, enterprises, and spin -offs
• Encourage more innovative financing mechanisms and private sector
investments (See also PDP Chapters 8 and 9).
• Provide support mechanisms for start-ups and MSMEs in the regions.
