A new ₱120-million program is opening a different path for student innovators by helping them turn research and ideas into actual startup businesses.

SIBOL, CHED, DOST-PCAARRD, and Isabela State University are working with 24 state universities and colleges that already operate Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubators.

Each participating university-based incubator received ₱5 million to implement the program over two years.

Students under the program can receive mentoring, business development support, market validation, access to facilities, technical and financial assistance, and connections with industry as they develop their ideas into viable enterprises.

“The program aims to help our students move beyond research and transform their innovations into viable startup enterprises,” CHED Chairperson Shirley Agrupis said.

But SIBOL could go beyond simply funding student businesses. Its Joint Technical Working Group is also working to integrate entrepreneurship into higher education by enabling students to pursue startup development as an alternative to a thesis, capstone project, or on-the-job training.

This does not mean students can already replace their thesis or OJT with a startup. The alternative is still a pathway being developed under SIBOL for participating institutions and is not yet a nationwide rule covering all college students or courses.

Each participating SUC is also expected to support 10 student innovators, while the program is targeting the creation of at least 200 local enterprises by the end of its two-year implementation.

LOS BAÑOS, Laguna — To secure long-term investment, commercial pathways, and strategic partnerships for local agricultural and aquatic innovations, key technology-transfer leaders from Region I joined the “RAISE Forward 2026” national summit held at the DOST-PCAARRD Headquarters on August 11–14.

Leading the Region I delegation are prominent academic and project heads from Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) and Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU). The delegation is led by Dr. Nathaniel R. Alibuyog, MMSU Vice President for Research, Development, and Innovation, along with Dr. Dionisio S. Bucao, RAISE Region I Program Leader and Project Leader for Regional Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM). Joining them are Prof. Victoria Malaya, Assistant Program Leader for RAISE Region I and Project Leader for DMMMSU’s Regional Agri-Aqua Technology Business Incubation (ATBI); Prof. Ethel Reynda M. Calivoso, Project Leader for the Regional Agribusiness Hub (ABH); and Dr. Love Grace D. Campano, Project Leader for the Regional Knowledge Management (KM) Hub.

The summit kicked off on August 11 with the 3rd Agri-Aqua Innovation Pitching Fest (AIPF) 2026, where regional innovators presented high-potential technologies directly to investors, industry leaders, and prospective adopters. Beyond tech exhibitions, the opening day served as a matchmaking venue to help bring academic research into commercial spaces.

The focus shifted toward long-term strategy on August 12 and 13 during the RAISE Program Sustainability Planning Workshop. Implementers assessed current benchmarks, set performance metrics, and drafted actionable roadmaps designed to keep regional technology transfer active and financially viable beyond RAISE Phase 2.

The event concludes on August 14 with the Progress Review for RAISE Program Batch 1, Phase 2, evaluating key achievements, resolving operational bottlenecks, and refining action plans for ongoing initiatives.

By participating in RAISE Forward 2026, the Region I delegation reinforces its mission to transform regional research into viable commercial enterprises that support farmers, fisherfolk, and agribusinesses across Northern Luzon.

It also promoted knowledge exchange, the sharing of best practices, and the formation of strategic partnerships across the regional innovation ecosystem. On the first day, RAISE Region I project leaders and staff provided the participating innovators with technical guidance and commercialization insights.
Thirteen technology pitchers from state universities and colleges in Region 1 competed in the Food and Non-Food categories, presenting their innovations virtually before panels of evaluators.
In the Food Category, Johnmel A. Valerozo of MMSU won first place for Probiotic Vanilla Ice Cream. Rossana P. Abat of DMMMSU placed second for Nutri-Squash Bread, while Alvin S. Aguilan of PSU took third place for Binagoongang Bangus in Pouch.
