Technopreneurship

 Technopreneurship is not just about

technology alone; but is about how to
manage that technology in order to
achieve superior value for the customer
(how to use technology [ICT] to improve
value).

 Also known as cyberpreneurship or

netpreneurship or technology

 Technopreneur can be defined as “ an

entrepreneur with the skills and mindsets to
deal with a knowledge economy”
 Technopreneur - people who shift
economic resources up the value chain.
 This Value Chain is customer focused, the
focus is not in developing complex
products or technology but on developing
a product or service that offer higher value
to the customer.
• knowledge to produce economic benefits
• a way of referring to the manner in which various high-technology
businesses, especially computer software, telecommunications and

Entrepreneurship seeks to understand how

opportunities to create something new arise and
are discovered or created by specific persons
who then use various means to exploit or develop
them, thus producing a wide range of effects.

The potential to create something new (new products or

services, new markets, new production processes, new raw
materials, new ways of organizing existing technologies,
etc.) that has emerged from a complex pattern of
changing conditions-changes in knowledge, technology,
or economic, political, social, and demographic

Commercialized the Bio N Fertilizer that contains
Azospirillum as its major component and soil and
charcoal as its carrier capable of supplying 50 % of
the nitrogen requirement of rice, corn and other high
value crops.
Bicol University Initiative to
Support Technopreneurship

 Adhere to the CHED initiative to add Technopreneurship subject

to the curriculum of all engineering program offered in the
university.
 Collaborate with PCIERRD in establishing Technology Business
Incubation (TBI) in university.
 Collaborate with PCAARRD in establishing the IP TBM office in
BUCAF to strengthen the IP protection and commercialization of
technologies generated by faculty and students.
