DOST Caraga convened local innovators, government leaders, academic institutions, and support organizations for a Startup Ecosystem Mapping activity in Tandag City on May 28, 2026, as part of its efforts to strengthen the cityโ€™s innovation and entrepreneurship landscape.

The activity provided a platform for stakeholders to assess the current state of innovation in Tandag, identify opportunities and challenges, and explore pathways for nurturing technology-driven enterprises and homegrown solutions.

In his opening message, DOST Caraga Regional Director Engr. Noel M. Ajoc emphasized the importance of fostering an environment where innovative ideas can evolve into sustainable ventures that address real-world challenges. He also highlighted DOST programs and initiatives designed to support startups and innovators, encouraging greater collaboration among stakeholders to cultivate a culture of innovation and problem-solving.

DOST Surigao del Sur Provincial Director Engr. Ramil A. Sanchez shared insights on the provinceโ€™s growing innovation landscape and emphasized the value of partnerships in helping innovators transform concepts into viable solutions.

Representing the local government, Hon. Alvin Ty, Sangguniang Panlungsod Member, reaffirmed the cityโ€™s commitment to initiatives that promote innovation, digital transformation, and inclusive economic growth.

Participants engaged in a collaborative mapping exercise that examined the startup journey across the stages of Idea, Launch, Growth, and Success. They identified existing support mechanisms, discussed ecosystem strengths and gaps, and developed a shared Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives to guide future initiatives. Moreover, the discussion highlighted the potential of local talent, research, technology, and entrepreneurship to create solutions that respond to community needs and emerging market opportunities.

As Tandag City continues to explore its place in the regionโ€™s growing innovation landscape, stakeholders recognized that building a startup ecosystem is a long-term effort that requires sustained collaboration, local leadership, and continuous support for aspiring innovators. The activity served as an initial step toward connecting ideas, institutions, and communities that can help shape a more innovation-driven future for the city.

In a strategic effort to enhance local agricultural productivity, DOST Caraga, through the Provincial Science and Technology Office of Surigao del Sur, successfully conducted a series of project coordination meetings on May 14, 2026, for the initiative titled, "Project Smarter FARM: Smarter Farmer and Smarter Approaches to Rice and Selected High-Value Crops Farming using STI."

Project Smarter FARM aims to boost farm yield and profitability in the Municipality of San Miguel through the deployment and adoption of DOST-developed/funded technologies.

Separate coordination meetings were held with key project stakeholders to discuss the project overview, review the stipulations of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), and lay down the definitive action points leading to the official signing. The key implementing partners include:

Local Government Unit of San Miguel (LGU-San Miguel)

North Eastern Mindanao State University - San Miguel Campus (NEMSU-San Miguel)

Carromata Farmers and Vendors Association (CFVA)

MABAS-BASA Irrigatorโ€™s Association, Inc.

Representing the Department of Science and Technology was Engr. Jan Lumancas of DOST Surigao del Sur. Crucial insights and commitments were secured from Dr. Marlon Garrigues (Assistant Campus Director, NEMSU-San Miguel), Dr. Richel Garrigues (R&D Head, NEMSU-San Miguel), Mr. Ulysses Ravelo (Municipal Agriculturist, LGU-San Miguel), and Ms. Cristine Baldovino (Agricultural Technologist). Engagement with the agricultural sector was spearheaded by Ms. Shiela Mae N. Dumanhog, Chairperson of the CFVA.

After the consultations, a field visit of the proposed demonstration sites was conducted alongside the CFVA farmer-members to iniitally assess the area for technology deployment.
