The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Mario G. Montejo believes that this year’s celebration of National Science and Technology Week will prove that Filipino scientists can compete not only in Asia but throughout the rest of the world.

“Many of our scientists have carved major inroads in the field of S&T over the last two years, meriting recognition from the international science community,” Montejo said in a press conference last July 10, 2015 at Sulo Riviera Hotel in Quezon City.

 

The Department of Science and Technology-Information and Communications Technology (DOST-ICT Office), in partnership with Philippine Software Industry Association is currently conducting a series of Lean Startup 101 Boot Camps in different locations across the country to increase the capability of college professors in mentoring their students on how to build successful start-up companies.

The series kicked off last June 4 in Cebu City, followed by Iloilo City last June 20, and most recently in Baguio City last July 4.

 

ACE + FA Enterprises, a Laguna-based maker of wooden pallets, has been saving around P 80,000 a month for one year now.

How were they able to do this? It stopped renting the services of another company and now uses its own low-cost heat treatment facility (LHTF) to disinfect its pallets.
