II. RATIONALE:
Science, technology and innovation (STI) plays an important role in achieving
the region’s objectives toward inclusive and sustainable development. Long-
term investments in building local STI capacity will spur innovations that can
strengthen existing businesses, create new industries, and increase job
opportunities. With access to new technologies for public goods and services,
Central Luzon will be better equipped to address development need, especially
of the disadvantaged in areas of health, education, energy, disaster resiliency,
climate change adaption, among others.
The Central Luzon Regional Development Plan (CLRDP) 2017-2022 identified
several challenges in advancing science and technology and innovation were
presented: weak and S&T culture (resulting to low adoption of application of
new technologies among MSMEs and other sectors); inadequate STI
infrastructure; and weak linkages among players in the STI ecosystem, among
others. As such, connecting and integrating key elements and stakeholder of
the Philippine innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem is all the more
crucial.
Based on recently conducted scoping activities with government, industry and
academia, there is an abundance of innovation cultivators/drivers whose
initiatives are not harmonized, resulting to underutilized R&D efforts (i.e.,
services are not packaged and communicated well to target users, low
proactive stance to attract utilization by MSMEs/target users, among others).
Moreover, MSMEs have low awareness for innovation and innovation work,
which limit them accessing and utilizing R&D efforts. The respondents also
noted that many industries have been greatly affected by the Covid-19
pandemic and the need to align efforts towards business recovery and
resiliency especially for small businesses that are now in the brink of closing
down. Overall, convergence of different productive sectors is wanting. Thus,
the need for a regional lead convenor to facilitate convergence.
On the other hand, Central Luzon is home to many R&D institutions and SSFs
(224 all over the region, based on data from DTI) that can be further optimized
in advancing innovation products and processes. The region has 28 Industry
Associations having network potential for the replication and
commercialization of innovative approaches and are also actively supporting
the needs of MSMEs. A stronghold of academia, Central Luzon has 183 Private
HEIs, 14 LUCs, 12 SUCs, and the greatest number of SUCs in the country, and
39 SUC Satellite (based on data from CHEDRO-III,s website), each having their
own technical expertise and resources that can translate to intellectual capital
for businesses.
8
 Recognizing the important role of academic institutions in innovation, DOST,
DTI, and CHED aims to strengthen the involvement of the private sector in the
identification and funding of important industry research and expand data-
mapping efforts across sectors thru Cybernetics Research Development
Centers for industry-academe synergy.

III. OBJECTIVES:

a. General Objective

The establishment of the Business Innovation Unit, which forms part of the
RIIC Region 3 Innovation Program, aims to increase subscription of MSMEs to
the programs and services of the regional line agencies and in the uptake of
_________________________
research outputs from key R&D partners in the region.
ANGELITA Q. PARUNGAO
b. Specific Objectives:
- Strengthen network for increased synergy and resource-sharing
among innovation programs and services.
- Improve overall awareness and MSME guidance on innovation and
accessing appropriate resources.
- Harmonize existing assets and innovation efforts of MSMEs in the
region (with emphasis on business on business resiliency and
competitiveness).
-
______________________
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
DR. CECILIA N. GASCON

A DTI-DOST initiative by USAID-STRIDE, the RIIC is one of the

cornerstones of the Inclusive Filipinnovation and Entrepreneurship
Roadmap to strengthen the capacity for innovation to drive inclusive
economic growth in the countryside. It is a mechanism to strengthen
industry-academe innovation agents that acts to synergize
government agencies, industries, universities, LGUs, startups,
MSMEs, R&D laboratories, S&T parks, incubators, Fab Labs, investors,
and other elements in the ecosystem, to harness the region’s innovation potential.
Below is the operational model of the RIIC which aims to have all
__________________________________
resources
JULIUS CAESAR V. SICAT, PhD, CESO III for innovation be harmonized and work together in
order to unlock and sustain competitive advantage for local
businesses towards local economic development in the region.

The establishment of the RIIC in the region is in response to the

call of DOST and DTI national offices for USAID-Sciences,
Technology, Research and Innovation for Development (USAID-
STRIDE) to expand its areas of assistance to four more regions:
Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, CALABARZON and Zamboanga.

7
 To ensure and strengthen the establishment of RIICs, sets of activities are laid
down using the Mapping-Linking-Aligning (M-L-A) Strategy. Using this approach,
STRIDE supports the mapping of innovation actors and their
capabilities, the linking of stakeholders by creating avenues for
_________________________ partnership, and the aligning of existing innovation infrastructures to
ENGR. ERWIN DR. MAGSAKAY industry needs.

Adapting to time constraints, projects implementation in RIIC-3 will

be initially based on a 12-week timetable. RIIC-3 core Group will
revisit strategies and plans by week 12 with primary partners. The
current priority is to deliver a proof of work – learn fast and identify
effective strategies, then revise (as necessary) and the focus will be
on laying out processes and developing activity design among key
partners.

RIIC-3 will implement the following activities that will serve as jump-
off points for collaboration with the RIIC ecosystem for the first six
months, applying the Mapping-Linking-Aligning (MLA) Framework of USAID-
STRIDE:
_________________________
ANGELITA Q. PARUNGAO
Mapping-related activities include the conduct of Inventory of
research and research facilities (DOST, CHED), MSMEs & local
products (DTI), and HEIs & experts (CHED). All these innovation
database data shall be endorsed to Bulacan State University for
consolidation in its newly established SCAD Network Center under
its Cybernetics Regional Development Centers. The innovation
database shall be made accessible through distributed access points
along the W-Growth Corridor.

Linkages-related activities include Capacity-building in IBR analog with TBIs and

______________________ related units (USAID-STRIDE) and Program design of innovation
DR. CECILIA N. GASCON consultations (Industry Partner/Chamber).

Alignment-related activities include Business process review and

design around promotion and marketing of facilities (Industry
Partner/Chamber) and Cluster-based approach in program and
facilities alignment Optional).

The RIIC-3 effort will work around pilot industry on agri-business

and food manufacture in Bulacan, as Proof of Concept.

RIIC-3 Innovation program will establish a Business Innovation Unit (BIU) which
shall be under the direct supervision of the Project Leader. The BUI is aimed to
increase subscription of MSMEs to the programs and services of the regional line
8
 agencies and in the uptake of research outputs from key R&D
partners in the region. It is envisioned as a functioning unit that
serves as a dynamic one-step shop (helpdesk) and valuable first
contact for prospective innovators among business and a
strategic communications point for GIA stakeholders in the
region.

The goal of the BUI is to create as many connections for

_________________________
innovation as possible and to serve as implementing arm for the
ENGR. ERWIN DR. MAGSAKAY
RIIC Region 3 Innovation Program.
The BIU will have the following components:

Qualified consultants – to develop technical content for RIICs

activities, who can be identified among HEI faculty and RDI
experts. Implementation and development of the technical
content (per activity) will be handled by qualified consultants and
experts.

Project Administration Unit – for coordination with member

agencies and regional industries and support to activity
implementation.

Monitoring & Evaluation Unit for progress and impact monitoring.

_________________________ This can be mobilized from existing M&E units among partner
ANGELITA Q. PARUNGAO
agencies.

V. STRATEGY/MECHANISM OF IMPLEMENTATION:

a. Technical Aspect:

The proposed Central Luzon Innovation and Connectivity (CLINC) Center, which is
an operating center solely for the RIIC-3, will be spearheading unit that is
responsible in establishing linkage among the GIA stakeholders in
______________________ Region 3 thru a mapping database. It will also handle the technical
DR. CECILIA N. GASCON support needed in the development of the Business Innovation Unit.

Equipment needed are listed in Annex B: Detailed Line-Item-Budget.

The recently approved and established SCAD Network Center in
Bulacan State University, with its designated Center Head, will be the
project coordinator that will handle and manage the proposed CLINC
Center.

b. Organization and Management Aspect:

7
 The project will be implemented by a project Leader, supported by
__________________________________the RIIC Core Group (for the program direction setting) and the
JULIUS CAESAR V. SICAT, PhD, CESO III Project Management Team (for the activity coordination and
implementation support). The Project Management Team will be
comprised of representatives from partner agencies involved in the
RIIC implementation. The development of the technical content (per
activity) will be handled by qualified consultants and experts.
Coordination and activity implementation will be handled by a
project administration unit. Progress and impact monitoring will be
handled by monitoring & evaluation unit.

In the proponent side, Bulacan State University through its RDE

CYBERNETICS RDCs (Regional Development Centers),
_________________________
specifically the Strategic Communication & Alliance for
ENGR. ERWIN DR. MAGSAKAY
Development (SCAD) Network Center, will be responsible in
communicating with the proposed CLINC and will be providing
technical assistance thru its personnel.

c. Financial Aspect:
`

Aside from the financial assistance that will be provided by the

DOST-III, the implementing agency will be responsible in
shouldering the counterpart fund amounting to Php
1,268,207.20.

_________________________
d. Marketing Aspect:
ANGELITA Q. PARUNGAO

A communication strategy shall be formulated and implemented

to inform MSME’s and other stakeholders about the RIIC in
Region 3 and the programs and services around it through the
BIU.

e. Monitoring and Evaluation

The RIIC Region-3 Monitoring and Evaluation Unit shall conduct

progress monitoring of program implementation on a monthly basis to ensure
that all activities are implemented on time, that processes are improved, and to
determine what actions need to be undertaken to achieve intended results.
Monitoring will likewise encourage accountability on assigned tasks and outputs.
Monitoring can be done through the conduct of regular partners meetings,
learning forums, participatory reviews by stakeholders, and site visits (if
applicable).
