Companies interested in accessing government-sponsored research from the Philippines will soon be able to search through hundreds of technologies via an e-commerce-enabled website. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) last week launched its One-Stop Information Shop for Technologies in the Philippines (OSIST) website (http://www.osist.dost.gov.ph) to facilitate the commercialization of innovations developed in the nation’s labs through government-sponsored research. According to DOST officials, the site was created in response to stakeholder requests. It contains summaries of more than 280 technologies along with information on the developer. Detailed technology descriptions can be accessed for a fee. Go to: GMA News
