RAISE Caraga Joins the RAISE Summit 2025 in Tagaytay

RAISE Project Leaders, staff, and TARA ATBI incubatees proudly represented the Caraga Region at the RAISE Summit 2025, held last October 13–16 at Hotel Casiana, Tagaytay City.

With the theme “RAISE ALIGN: Advancing Linkages and Impactful Growth through Networks,” the summit gathered innovators, TBI managers, and regional leaders nationwide to strengthen collaboration, share best practices, and align strategies for Phase 2 implementation of the RAISE Program.

Caraga’s delegation showcased local agri-aqua innovations through its TARA ATBI incubatees, who presented their products — the BlackGold Nutribar and SeaScoops Danggit Ice Cream — during the summit’s exhibition and pitching sessions. The team also celebrated a new milestone as TARA ATBI forged a co-incubation partnership with the University of Southern Mindanao ATBI to further support startup growth and technology commercialization.

The four-day event also featured the Spinoff Policy Graduation Ceremony, recognizing regional representatives who completed the training on institutionalizing spinoff policies to enhance technology transfer and commercialization within higher education institutions.

Together, we RAISE connections, collaborations, and communities for a more innovative and inclusive future!
