The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) recently unveiled its five-point development programme for 2012 in line with the Aquino administration’s national development agenda. The development programme focuses on the use of local technologies for agriculture, energy, service delivery and genomics whilst adopting the policy that “local technology works”.
The five-point technology development agenda involves: First, more public-private partnerships (PPPs) to solve national problems using local technology. Second, development of appropriate technologies to create growth in the countryside such as food processing technologies, and “smart farms.” Third, improvement of industry competitiveness, particularly in the prototyping of automated gateway transit system for public transport and producing better graduates for the outsourcing, electronics, and renewable energy industries. Fourth, enhancing the delivery of government and social services, particularly the Government Broadband Network, National Telehealth Services, and National 3D Mapping. Fifth, using genomics to sequence the genetic makeup of Filipinos, agriculture crops, and wildfire.
In his year end message, DOST Secretary, Mario Montejo said that the agency will be leveraging public-private partnerships in order to use science and technology to solve pressing national problems.
“Our motto has always been “local technology works.” As such we will always promote local technologies toward the nurturing of a business environment that addresses the special needs of technology-based entrepreneurship. It is our wish to impress upon our publics the impact of DOST’s mandate in accelerating the pace of knowledge-driven development in accordance with its growth potential in the country,” he said.
