How a nationwide campaign is inspiring Filipino creatives to champion homegrown technologies

TAGUIG CITY — What does it take to turn Filipino innovations into moving stories worth sharing? For the Technology Application and Promotion Institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-TAPI), the answer lies in meeting aspiring storytellers where they are. That’s why DOST-TAPI has been hosting in-person and virtual pocket launches since the campaign’s launch last October.
DOST-TAPI utilizes GAxD in-person pocket launches as a strategic platform to achieve two main goals. First, the launches clearly communicate the campaign’s rules and regulations to all interested participants. Second, face-to-face gatherings maximize the opportunity for promotion of local innovations. While each launch is designed to clarify requirements and eligibility, all events featured unique and tailored sessions to boost engagement.
