Firstly, thank you to Julie and the Philippine Government for asking me to present at their Next Generation R&D summit where hundreds of members of DOST, the Philippine Department of Science and Technology, came together to discuss the future of emerging technologies, innovation, and R&D and their impact on the future Philippine economy and their society.

With a 30 year view we discussed not only these core topic areas but also the policies and visions the government needs to develop and implement to nurture innovation at every level of the Philippine economy.

 

Rewind and replay the keynote
