The Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) currently manages 32 technology business incubators hosted in different universities. To further support technology-based enterprises and boost the innovation ecosystem of the country, PCIEERD is embarking on a new program which aims to prepare a network of the universities for the establishment of science and technology parks through the program “Science and Technology Parks to Accelerate Research and Knowledge (SPARK)”

To support the above-mentioned endeavor, the webinar would mainly discuss the following:

1.) The process and experience of the Philippines in establishing an S&T Park

2.) The experiences of developing science and technology parks in a few selected countries in Asia.

3.) The key precursor conditions for establishing science and technology parks in a city or area.

4.) How to ensure that a management team with expertise and experience can be assembled to manage the science and technology parks?

5.) How to select the key tenants of a science and technology park?

6.) The rationale for the governments to support science and technology parks, and what policies should be put in place to support science and technology parks.
