Rapid, drastic, and widespread global changes are looming over the horizon – with the growing threat of climate change, and the looming ASEAN economic integration. To survive and surmount, technology is key. It is the game-changer that will allow the Philippines to transform its problems into opportunities for inclusive and sustainable growth. Under the Aquino Administration, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), as steward of the nation’s Science and Technology (S&T) Agenda, has been continuously guided by the fundamental policy that Filipinos must be able to chart our own course. For us, this paradigm translates to “technology self-reliance” – believing that the innate Filipino innovativeness and creativity, when capacitated with the appropriate tools, have the power to solve pressing national problems, distinct to the unique Filipino situation and culture. In the totality of this paradigm, the role of the Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) is a great one; and it follows that to capture the essence of technology application and promotion in whole: Intellectual Property protection; accelerating technology transfer; and commercialization of the technology—is a gargantuan task. However, the fact remains that it is the essential “gap” that we must surmount, in order to bring the benefits of our programs and projects to the Filipino people. In this regard, I proudly commend the TAPI for pushing forth its best efforts to manage our IP assets, deliver support and services to our national investments, and elevate the standards of creativity and innovations to a global standpoint. Undeniably, there is more that can be done, as problems and opportunities still exist and are waiting to be tapped into. In this regard, I count on TAPI to rise to the challenge, and step-up its role in creating an innovation driven and technology self-reliant Philippines, as we enter a new era in the global economy. Mabuhay!

TAPI’s 26 years of committed service to all its stakeholders marked this year’s report. We believe that we fulfilled our mission to promote effective and efficient innovation system towards the adoption and utilization of inventions, innovations, and services. This year also marked my fourth year as the Director of the Institute, and I am pleased to share with you our achievements for CY 2013. Geared towards the realization of our “Vision”, we continuously developed and intensified our programs of assistance for scientists, inventors, research and development institutions, local entrepreneurs to promote and commercialize their technologies. Through our various comprehensive assistance packages, TAPI nurtures and continuously helps transform scientific ideas into useful technologies to become profitable business enterprises in the long run. Recognizing the importance of protecting intellectual property prior to technology transfer and commercialization, TAPI, in collaboration with the Intellectual Property Office Philippines (IPOPHIL), has committed financial support associated with patent filings through the project “Juan’s Thousand Inventions”. We also continued to promote Filipino ingenuity and train local innovators through our programs. I am very grateful to the DOST Management and our partners in both the public and the private sectors, for their support. I also acknowledge the unselfish dedication of my entire TAPI family to attain our goals and achievements. With the ASEAN Integration fast-approaching in 2015, the challenge is even greater for us to fast track the delivery of our services especially to the MSMEs. However, I am confident that we can face this challenge in the coming year. Nevertheless, we will never stop exploring better ways and options, and building more robust partnerships, in the years to come.

TAPI is now ISO 9001:2008-Certified In the tradition of providing quality service to the Filipino people, the Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) has shown commitment by designing its own quality management system in accordance to the ISO 9001:2008 standard. After a thorough audit and evaluation of TAPI processes, the TÜV SÜD Asia Pacific (TÜV SÜD Group) has issued Certificate Registration No. TUV 100 05 2242 dated July 5, 2012 with coverage as “Quality Management System for Technology Transfer and Commercialization Services, Technology Information and Promotion Services, and Invention and Innovation Development Services”, making the Institute a full-pledged ISO-certified agency.
With the new quality management system, the Institute has standardized its processes and procedures as stated on its new Quality Manuals and Work Instructions. The system was formulated with the assistance of other DOST-attached agencies which were already ISO-certified.
Being an ISO-certified institution, TAPI has signified commitment towards the continual improvement of its quality management system. With the unwavering support from its entire workforce, the Institute is confident that this will be achieved towards the attainment of its objectives and goals.
