The 3rd day of the LIKHA SUMMIT 2024, held on October 30, not only highlighted the exciting RAISE TO INNOVATE Pitching Competition, but also featured a dynamic exhibit organized by the RAISE Program and TARA Agri-Aqua. The exhibit served as a platform to showcase the innovative products of incubatees from various sectors, underlining the collaborative spirit of research, development, and entrepreneurship.
Among the exciting products on display were Black Gold Nutri Bar, a health-conscious snack, Scrap Cycle, and Seascoops Danggit Dried Fish Ice Cream, a unique food technology innovation. These products were not only on display but were also available for free tasting, allowing event attendees to sample the innovative creations firsthand. For those interested in taking a piece of innovation home, products were also offered for sale.
Additionally, the exhibit featured posters of granted IP technologies from the Technology Transfer and Licensing Office (TTLO), providing an in-depth look into the cutting-edge technologies developed by the institutions involved in the RAISE Program. These posters highlighted the importance of intellectual property rights in fostering innovation and protecting technological advancements for future commercialization.
The exhibit’s primary goal was to promote technologies to a broad range of stakeholders, including industry partners, government representatives, and potential investors, who attended the summit. By bringing together these innovations, the exhibit played a pivotal role in fostering connections, encouraging collaborations, and ensuring that the innovations of the incubatees could reach the wider market and make a lasting impact in their respective fields.
As Dr. Jeffrey T. Dellosa, D.Eng., CSU’s Vice President for Research, Development, Innovation, and Extension, emphasized in his message, the exhibit, alongside the pitching competition, underscores the importance of technology development and the role of innovation in solving pressing societal challenges.
The successful event was a testament to the ongoing efforts of RAISE and TARA Agri-Aqua to nurture and promote groundbreaking ideas through research, development, and entrepreneurial support, paving the way for a more innovative and sustainable future.
