Ateneo Innovation Center

Ateneo Innovation Center The Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) promotes Innovation through multi-disciplinary teaming and strategic long-term partnerships with Industry.

VISION

We envisage an Ateneo tightly coupled with Industry, Investors, Government and the Base of the Pyramid. An Ateneo that helps the country create new products, systems, services and even new industries that address National Priorities like Clean Water, Food Security, Energy Access, Universal Health Care and World Class Education. MISSION
To promote and facilitate collaborative research and problem solving, involving the academe, industry, government and international partners. To develop market smart, innovation Ateneans with demonstrated ability to innovate with a deep understanding of how technology creates new opportunities for the Philippines.


“Our process of innovation, research and commercialization is really simple : we look for really good ideas from ourselves in Ateneo, from our partners and from around the world (through literature) for products, services and models. We would then spend a year of research and development time to create prototypes and proof of concepts, being an open innovation center we show these to our close partners and get feedback, buy-in and investment. We work and work until something gels or vector into another direction that has more promise.”

The Ateneo Innovation Center is first and foremost a research organization but we have to go beyond just research and turn research into real products and services by commercialization and training, empowering and providing for the next generation of innovators and technopreneurs.

From Crisis to Community: Technologies for Disaster Resilience in Water, Food, and Healthcare
https://www.ateneo.edu/sose/aic/projects/deployments

In an era of increasingly unpredictable climate events and escalating natural disasters, safeguarding the foundational pillars of human survival—water, food, and healthcare—is more critical than ever.

In this insightful mini-talk, Paul Cabacungan explores groundbreaking research and creative innovations designed to fortify communities against catastrophic disruptions. The session highlights how cutting-edge technologies are transforming disaster management, ensuring that clean water supplies remain secure, food production chains stay resilient, and critical healthcare services are rapidly deployable when traditional infrastructure fails.

Bridging the gap between theory and practical application, this presentation showcases actionable technological solutions aimed at mitigating risks, accelerating recovery, and building long-term adaptive capacity for vulnerable populations.

The continued partnership between Ateneo de Manila University (Ateneo) and Boston College (BC) has successfully engaged teachers, students, parents, farmers, and local government officials at Tagulod High School and the Barangay Hall of Candaba, Pampanga in the introduction of innovative farming technologies. These include a black bug trap using blue LED strips, a rice seed scatterer, a portable NPK sensor, water level and wind sensors, and an aquaponics system—all powered by lithium-ion batteries and recharged through solar PV panels. The technologies are now being managed by the school and have earned strong approval from members of the partner community.

Through this joint initiative of the two Jesuit institutions, we look forward to more exchanges of technical expertise and practical knowledge that can help farmers improve their crop yields, sustain their families, and inspire the youth. With the right mindset, motivation, and creativity, farming can become a viable and rewarding career path for the next generation.
