INNOVATION FOR BUSINESS RECOVERY (IBR) PROGRAM

The Regional Inclusive Innovation Center (RIIC) is a regional convergence mechanism that aims to strengthen the government-industry-academe innovation collaboration to contribute to inclusive growth. It is an initiative within the DTI-DOST Inclusive Filipinnovation & Entrepreneurship Roadmap. The Roadmap envisions these RIICs as the convergence of the different actors in the local innovation space, leading to highly coordinated innovation ecosystems that deliver tangible impacts to regional economic development. Cebu was identified by the Philippine Government as one of the four pilot sites for the RIICs.

To concretize the convergence among government, industry and academe in Cebu, the regional offices of the Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Science and Technology, Cebu Chamber of Commerce, Cebu Institute of Technology University, Southwestern University PHINMA and USAID-STRIDE are working together in implementing the Innovative Business Recovery (IBR) Program under the Cebu RIIC.

The program is aimed at enhancing synergy among local innovation partners while enabling local businesses to rethink their operations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic through innovation. The program will guide micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in accessing specific innovation programs and services of government or academic partners; linking them to potential innovation collaborators; and supporting them to develop innovation-oriented strategy plans that can enable them to thrive within the “new normal” operating environment. Implementation of the region’s IBR program for the first batch, consisting of eight (8) MSMEs participants, is ongoing.

Knowing their value, digital freelancers should take stock of their skills and experience and consider upskilling through training courses to be better prepared for seismic changes ahead.  This is an initiative of the Department of Trade and Industry Region 7 along with the Department of Information Communications and Technology Region 7 and Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
