SUMMARY

The technology matching forum ―Facing AEC Head On, A Technology Matching Forum

between ITDI and Industry‖ was held on February 26, 2015 at the Mindanao Ballroom,

SOFITEL Philippine Plaza Manila, 8:00 A.M. – 4:30 P.M. It was proposal-driven and

organized by the Technological Services Division (TSD), led by its Information and

Documentation Section (IDS), with funding from the Technology Application and

Promotion Institute (TAPI).

ITDI‘s R&D priority areas, technical services and expertise were presented by the

respective division heads, namely: Chemicals and Energy, Environment and

Biotechnology, Food Processing, Materials Science, Packaging Technology, National

Metrology, Standards and Testing, and Technological Services.

Three industry leaders were also invited as speakers who talked on: Planning for

Technology Innovation to Meet Market Demands of AEC, Achieving Sustainable

Competitive Advantage by Coupling R&D Spending with Business Planning, and Reality

Score: Impact of AEC on MSMEs.

A total of 52 participants coming from various industry sectors attended the forum.

Among the sectors represented were chemicals, energy, food and beverage, materials, mining, packaging, pharmaceutical, testing/calibration; and industry organizations such as the Bulacan Chamber of Commerce, Makati Chamber of Commerce and Industry,

PhilExport, PCCI-NCR, and Laguna Techno-Park. An open forum followed after the presentations while breakout sessions between ITDI

and industry participants were conducted in the afternoon paving the way for the exchange of ideas and insights on various issues and concerns as well as possible solutions or recommendations.

1. INTRODUCTION

Free flow of goods, services, investment, capital, and skilled labor among ASEAN

member nations will be the name of the game by end of 2015 as the 10 member

nations will be coming out as a single regional market known as the ASEAN Economic

Community or AEC. With the unfolding of this regional integration comes a seamless

market that brings with it both opportunities and tougher competition among the

member nations such as the Philippines.

To survive in this increasingly competitive environment, the key ingredient is innovation.

More than just product or market innovation, operational innovation is very critical. We

need to create new methods of business activity or processes to bring costs down,

outperform competitors or provide the "wow" factor for customers. Local business

processes need to be highly cost-effective, responsive, and flexible.

As a research and development institute on industrial technology, the ITDI (Industrial

Technology Development Institute), DOST (Department of Science and Technology) is

working alongside these external events to bring about needed change and help prepare

local industries cope with the challenges AEC brings.

As an initial move, the ITDI has already conducted a preliminary consultative meeting

amongst its research and technical services groups to identify the R&D scenario facing

them. With this completed, it has proceeded to the next phase, the technology matching

forum, which is concerned with the actual development of the technology matching

plan. In this phase, participants will identify the industry and the products for which the

plan is to be developed.

On February 26, 2015, the technology matching forum with the industry was conducted

at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Manila, where government and industry representatives

consisting of top management executives and officers were gathered and exchanged

ideas and shared insights on technology developments and trends, and identified needs

and/or gaps being faced in the different industry sectors. How do the country‘s S&T and

industry community level up, and how to meet demands and fill these gaps were among

the major concerns that were discussed during the forum.

The forum hopes to result to an integrated product-technology plan that meets both

market and business requirements with product features and technology choices that

are prioritized on a basis of investment area/ industry needs and desires.

2. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES AND PROCESS

a. Objectives

1. Identify and describe specific investment area/ industry requirement-driven

technology clusters;

2. Identify specific technology cluster discontinuities in each investment area/

industry; and

3. Identify critical requirements of the investment area/ industry related to

technology decisions.

b. Agenda/Program

The technology matching forum was a one-day activity divided into two sessions; a

plenary session in the morning and a breakout session in the afternoon.

ITDI‘s research and technical service capabilities were presented during the

plenary session by the respective division heads. A short Q & A followed after

which, the invited speakers talked on their assigned topics.

After lunch, another invited speaker, Mr. Gil Gonzales talked on his topic Reality

Score: Impact of AEC on MSMEs. After some Q&A, the breakout session ensued

where participants were grouped along the seven technical areas of ITDI to enable

them to interact, discuss and share valuable insights and/or concerns along their

areas of interest. All deliberations/results of discussions were then synthesized,

summed up, and presented by Deputy Director Magbanua, Jr. (Please see program

1. Advantek

Joen Quinto,

Senior Associate – Q. A.

Advantek, Inc., with

facilities in North America, Asia and Europe , is an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 certified company supporting the global production of the world's leading electronics manufacturers. The products they produce play an important role in the assembly process of many products such as computers, mobile phones, LED lighting, medical components, smart appliances, automobiles and other consumer products.

Advantek offers a broad

range of precision component packaging systems including embossed carrier tapes, Surftape®, anti-static cover tapes, shipping reels and static shielding / moisture

barrier bags. Advantek completes the product line by providing desiccants, humidity indicator cards and other packaging products.

Embossed carrier tape provides protection to integrated circuits and other devices from physical and electro-static discharge (ESD) damage during shipping and storage. Carrier tape is widely used

National Metrology Laboratory lacks the following calibration services:

1) Light Metrology: ITDI is not equipped with laser scanners to conduct physical technical probes.

2) Electro static dimension metrology: Advantek seeks the services from Singapore

3) No standards set for surface requirements of product lines. It varies from one customer to another.

1. NML should evaluate and beef-up technical capabilities to meet new demands of the market.

2. NML should include these calibration services as part of their expansion program.

3. Train people to undertake these services / level up skills requirements

for presenting devices to pick-and-place machines for automatic placement onto printed circuit boards.

Advantek's carrier tape can incorporate containment features found in more expensive shipping media. This provides fragile devices—such as QFP's, chip scale packages and bare die—protection from physical abuse.

Included in their line of carrier tape is Advantek SFT™, Sharp Form Tape for precision applications, which can be processed in a clean-room environment. Near-vertical sidewall draft angles help prevent part migration as well as abrasion caused by contact with device edges. SFT™ pocket bottoms are flat to provide horizontal device confinement and presentation to pick-and-place equipment.

Needs calibration of diagnostic equipment (besides supplier) Is there a body/council from government that serves as check and balance with the services they provide because their suppliers have control over them especially on pricing (calibration and supply of reagents); problem of exclusivity Why did PNRI transfer radiation testing to a private company? And for a much higher cost?

For radiation testing, contact PNRI for concern Discuss/inquire with PCHRD on these matters

Dr. Dennis Quinto President/ Chief Technology Officer Mr. Jaime L. Diaz Marketing/Sales Director

Coatings of tools, semicon parts using physical vapor

deposition (PVD) – an enabling technology for infrastructure; material science for industry with reduced cost as end product

How to propagate the technology locally, in manufacturing & how it

will work It‘s application is underrated How do we figure in the ASEAN?

visit ADMATEL and NANOLAB (c/o MSD)

Mr. Quinto: have hospitable condition locally to attract students who graduated abroad to come back; consider global

approach to get back human capital; documentation

3. Philippine Plastic Industry Association Mr. Antonio C. Keh

Manufacture of nuts and bolts

Described business as ―guerilla‖-type; used to have 90 workers, it‘s now down to only 30; Very stiff competition with China that has captured the bulk of the market (cheap); Used to supply the mining industry (do repairs), cement, construction industry – only the standard items (10% left) but still being challenged by China Problem in the supply chain, raw materials are imported; Need to innovate but no market, people buy cheaper goods from China R&D/Innovate with value-added products (alloy finishing) Now producing bolts only

Mr. Keh recommended: Gov‘t should have program/consider where can we have high value? Gov‘t to have national policy/ political will to revive and protect the steel industry which is the source of raw material of such related industries as nuts and bolts Refer to appropriate agency (c/o MSD)

Is the technology matching forum interesting to you?

Comments:

Info on ITDI initiatives that will benefit exporters; technologies/innovations we can promote for

commercial use

Because of its relevance to the business industry

Because it is something very relevant and would be of good use to our members (businessmen)

I can ask my questions and express my concerns very frankly

Industry should be the driver of S&T priorities and investments, services. Government should

work closely with industry to know what is needed – not work in a vacuum.

Future competitiveness

Very seldom do you have the opportunity to meet these people and listen to their concerns. It

opens up linkages with different sectors.

We learned a lot of the services your agency offers.

Discussed and laid out needs of the company. Hopeful for the desired results to soon be

accomplished

So that there is alignment on what the industry needs

Good scientists and personnel

Many businesses and cooperatives will be successful

Just simply because of excellent presentation of ITDI Division chiefs. It will be very useful and

great improvement to our group

Is the technology matching forum interesting to you?

This topic will help us to be able to have an idea whom to seek help for upgrading our

production

Can be shared to Bulacan Chamber of Commerce Inc. members

Relevant to the context of competitiveness in AEC 2015

Seeking for assistance on energy audit and technological service for machine/equipment

upgrade

As public-private entity, the forum is a venue for policy formulation, as well as collaboration

with inter-agency on innovation and research development

Looking forward to how DOST can help small & medium industries to grow and compete

Knowledge sharing

What do you intend to do after this forum?

7. Overall suggestions/comments/recommendations

Hoping that the presentations and discussions can be downloaded for easier sharing with our

members

It was an awesome forum in a sense that it is very timely and if collaborated with, can have

great impact to the business industry

More events/activities like this

ITDI to meet industry clusters (e.g. fuel, fruits & vegetables, food, etc.). Subsectors to maximize

reach. Work with industry associates so there is a trickle-down effect and increased efficiency.

Follow through activities

I hope you do more of these types of activities. Very helpful.

Continue to help SMEs (more).

More visibility in the manufacturing industry here in PH.

0.12% GDB for R&D? Wake-up call to our government – vision and execution when ASEAN

happens.

Special commendation to the organizers. Thank you very much. It will be a great help to all of us.

Venue was too cold. Almost all presentations are well-delivered and informative.
