iSTRIKE Davao RIIC, and Davao DeFi Community: Advocacy in Education and Awareness for Blockchain Technology and NFT Adoption
In today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world, innovation is the key to economic growth and societal progress. The Philippines, recognizing the importance of fostering innovation, has taken significant strides towards creating a dynamic and supportive ecosystem. The Philippine Innovation Act or the REPUBLIC ACT №11293: “An Act Adopting Innovation as Vital Component of the Country’s Development Policies to Drive Inclusive Development, Promote the Growth and National Competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes”. Three vital components play a central role in this transformation: Regional Inclusive Innovation Centers (RIICs), the iSTRIKE Davao, and the visionary leadership of Rod Albores. Together, they advocate for education, awareness, and the adoption of emerging technology through research and development, backed by strong government support and community-building efforts.
Regional Inclusive Innovation Centers (RIICs): The Pillars of Collaboration
RIICs serve as the bedrock of innovation, where government, academia, industry, and startups come together to drive change. These centers foster an environment of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and resource pooling, creating a thriving ecosystem for groundbreaking research and development. With RIICs strategically established in regions across the country, they promote localized approaches, identifying and capitalizing on the unique strengths of each area.
RIICs serve as beacons of education, offering mentorship, workshops, and seminars to inspire and equip entrepreneurs and innovators with the latest knowledge and skills. The synergy between these stakeholders builds a solid foundation for the adoption of emerging technologies, spurring economic growth and propelling the Philippines to the forefront of the global innovation landscape.
