When innovation meets the island: A lesson in localized commercialization from Palawan

Discipline: others in business and management

 

Abstract:

In research circles, we often celebrate innovation whether in new tools, new technologies, fresh discoveries. And rightly so. But here’s the hard truth: a lot of these breakthroughs don’t make it out of the lab. Despite the best efforts of our universities and research institutions, many technologies never reach the people who need them most.
