It was implemented by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and the Foodlink Advocacy Cooperative.
Inventors of technologies developed under the agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources (AANR) sector pitched their products to potential investors in a virtual technology pitching conducted via Zoom and Facebook Live.
The āInventors Meet Investors: IP-TBM National Technology Pitch Dayā was held on December 11, 2020 wherein DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la PeƱa, DOST Undersecretary for R&D Rowena Cristina L. Guevara, PCAARRD Executive Director Reynaldo V. Ebora, and FPRDI Director Romulo T. Aggangan served as speakers.

āThe meeting of inventors and investors is not just a mere target of the Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IP-TBM) program, it is a chance for us to change the world we live in. The inventors and investors may have different reasons for attending this pitch day, but we have one and the same purpose⦠we want to serve the people through science and technology and to create economic changes through inventions, innovations, and hopefully, investments. Because from here, we will produce Filipino trailblazers,ā said Secretary de la PeƱa.
