What is Technology Business Incubation?

Technology Business Incubation (TBI) is one of the strategies
identified to promote innovation and technopreneurship for
the countrys socio-economic development in a knowledgebased world economy.
TBIs distinguishing features are:
It is embedded in a
research center/educational
institution.
It focuses on
technology.
It serves a broad spectrum of

clients (small farmers, MSMEs,
& advanced biotech firms).
Technology Business Incubation (TBI)

Clientele
Products
Rural youth, women,

innovators, students
Technologies, Innovations from

different sectors of agriculture
Benefits
Entrepreneurship development
among start-ups
Facilitates technology transfer for
entrepreneurship
Identifies and nurtures innovations
from the grass-root level
Provides scope for development of
idea to prototype test-market and
finally product development
Provides access to market for

innovators and start-ups
Provides funding support
along with technical,
scientific backstopping and
mentoring
Ensures infrastructure like
office space, lab space at
lower costs
Criteria for TBI to support

a company include:
1. It is a technologybased, agricultural startup.

2. It can work with an enterprise, industry association,
R&D company approach.
3. It offers innovative concepts and proprietary proposals
in agricultural technology.
4. Its owner has financing and the necessary technical
education.
5. It submits a detailed business plan.
Bhoochetana &
Yamang Lupa
Program (YLP)
Bhoochetana (soil rejuvenation) is
YLP is the Philippine adaptation of
a mission mode project from ICRISAT

that harness science for sustainable
use of natural resources among
farmers and increase rainfed crop
yields by 20%.
the Bhoochetana concept. It has 3

pilot regions Quezon (Luzon),
Samar (Visayas) and Zamboanga
Sibugay (Mindanao).
Entry Point
Assessing the soil health status using the
stratified soil sampling and prepare a GIS
based soil fertility status maps and develop
the Soil Health Cards with specific nutrient
management recommendations.
Bhoochetana: A novel initiative

2066% yield increase
5% rise in agriculture growth annually
$ 230 million in four years
$ 1 invested = $ 314 return

Information & Communications

Technology (ICT) for Agriculture
Enhancing agricultural production
Relevant information at the right
time ; Early warning systems
Building capacity and empowerment
Strengthening own capacities;

Improving interaction and widening
perspectives
Improving market access
Up to date market information i.e. inputs and
consumer trends for negotiating position
Decisions on crops and best place to sell and
buy goods
Information & Communications Technology

(cont)
Creating multi-stakeholder mechanisms for
learning
Linking rural communities with
universities, research institutions, etc
Sharing of knowledge and lessons learned
and support to policy processes
Providing access and exchange

mechanisms in rural areas:
connectivity and telecenters
Broadband internet access is
central for societal innovation
(storing large datasets and live
communication;
Telecenters in remote areas for
global connection
Engaging and developing

interactive course curriculum
ICT-mediation as an emerging pedagogy
Dramatic change in technology landscape for the last 15 years
Informative tool
Provides vast amount of data
in various formats such as
audio, video, and documents
Innovative use of ICT can potentially solve

gaps in higher education.
Situating tool
Creates situations, which the
student experiences in real
life. Thus, simulation and
virtual reality is possible
Constructive tool
Constructs data and generates
analysis
ICT-mediation as an emerging pedagogy (cont)
Communicative tool
Voice
It can be used to remove

communication barriers such
as space and time
Video
Print
Instructional audio tools

that include interactive
technologies
Instructional video tools

that include still images,
prerecorded moving
images, and real-time
moving images combined
with audio conferencing.
Instructional print formats

that include textbooks,
study guides, workbooks
and case studies.
The Green Phablet powered by the Green Sim

Links research-extension-farmersmarkets through innovative ICT
mediated extension systems and public
private partnerships for improving
productivity and profitability
Green SIM enables mobile information

system for disseminating right information
at the right time through public-private
partnerships.
35 free voice messages per week
per farmer
Voice messages in 16 categories in
multiple languages
Pilot project started in June 2013
and covers 15000 farmers
With farm to fork approach addressing info needs

of entire value chain
Modules in both tablet/mobile app as well as

web app
Each experimental hub is unique and

experiments are carried out with different set of
partners to test the hypothesis.
The Framework for a

Philippine Agriculture
4 Pillars
4 Sustainable
Development
Goals*
4 Major
Objectives
- Inclusive
- Food Sufficiency
- Productivity
- Science-based
- Economic Security
- Profitability
- Resilient
- Nutritional
Sufficiency
- Competitiveness
- Market-oriented
- Environmental
Security
- Sustainability
Enabling Strategies
Plans and Programs*
Legislative Agenda
* Summation of all efforts to achieve food security
Inclusive Market-Oriented
Development (IMOD)
- is a development pathway
in which value-adding
innovations (technical,
policy, institutional and
others) enable the poor to
capture larger rewards
from markets, while
managing their risks. The
larger rewards motivate
the adoption and impact
of these innovations.
How is IMOD different from

the value chain approach?
Proactively including the poor,
managing risks and including
a development pathway all
distinguish IMOD from
conventional value chain
approaches.
Towards an inclusive, science-based, resilient and

market-oriented Philippine agriculture
