Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte said that the growth of the country’s semiconductor industry could be enhanced via collaboration between industry stakeholders and educational institutions.
She emphasized that the collaboration between the industry and the academia is essential, and could lead to resource sharing, joint research projects, internships, and industry-led workshops. “Providing mentorship, access to incubators, and networking opportunities can empower aspiring entrepreneurs to establish their own ventures, contributing to the industry’s growth,” Duterte said while also emphasizing the importance of research and development.
