The second day featured discussions and a workshop on Connecting Regional Needs to Emerging Technology Opportunities, bringing together regional consortia, partner industries, local government units, academe, and other stakeholders to identify opportunities and priorities for regional R&D.

As part of Cluster 2, together with the NCR, 4A, and 5 consortia, STIRDC participated in the workshop covering the six emerging areas: Artificial Intelligence, Marine and Maritime Technologies, Semiconductors, Synthetic Biology, Quantum Computing and Technologies, and Nuclear Science and Technologies.

The workshop provided an avenue to identify existing research, proposed solutions, R&D and capability-building needs, key players, and potential funding requirements toward addressing regional needs and strengthening the R&D agenda of the MIMAROPA Region.

Through collaboration and shared expertise, STIRDC continues to connect regional priorities with emerging technology opportunities and advance innovation for the region.

Todayโ€™s program centered on plenary sessions, featuring discussions on national programs, innovations, emerging opportunities, and key initiatives relevant to regional consortia.
These plenaries provided valuable insights that will help strengthen the localization, adoption, and sustained implementation of national R&D programs across the regions.

The conference also served as a platform for strengthening collaboration among government, industry, and academe (Triple Helix), fostering partnerships and knowledge exchange toward addressing research and development gaps.

Through this gathering, STIRDC joins fellow regional consortia and key stakeholders in connecting regions, sharing knowledge, strengthening partnerships, and advancing innovation for the benefit of the MIMAROPA Region.

STIRDC continues to connect, collaborate, and innovate for a stronger regional R&D ecosystem.

The meeting was attended by the STIRDC Technical Working Group (TWG) Members, consortium partners, and the Ateneo de Davao University โ€“ Center for Renewable Energy and Appropriate Technologies (AdDUโ€“CREATE) Team, led by Dr. Nelson Enano.

A major highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the consolidated Renewable Energy (RE) Research Inventory, showcasing 81 existing Renewable Energy studies from STIRDC member institutions across the MIMAROPA Region. The discussion also explored opportunities for collaboration in developing an Island-Based Renewable Energy Resource and Energy Mix Assessment Framework, identifying priority research areas, strengthening institutional partnerships, and pursuing future joint research, capacity-building initiatives, and technology development programs.

The meeting reaffirmed the shared commitment of STIRDC and AdDUโ€“CREATE to advancing renewable energy research, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable, island-responsive energy solutions for the MIMAROPA Region.
