ADVANCE SCI-TECH

In keeping with the general theme “Science for the People: Enabling Technologies for Sustainable Development,” this year’s NSTW—together with the Regional Science and Technology Week celebrations—seeks to draw attention to scientific knowledge and technological applications impacting on the lives of Filipinos through the kind of development that can bring about positive, meaningful, and sustainable change.

The 2019 NSTW is the DOST flagship event, and it is expected to gather the country’s leading scientists, researchers, educators, and stakeholders to interact with investors, entrepreneurs, industry representatives and professionals leading to meaningful partnerships to bridge the S&T knowledge base and the people and organizations which it ultimately serves.

The NSTW celebration has the noble intention of harnessing the power of innovative technological ideas and concepts to power the Philippines toward new, boundless opportunities to solve longstanding societal problems. I therefore invite the public to come and take a close look at how far Philippine S&T has come and become more informed with the key role of S&T in achieving economic development and a just and peaceful society.
