> 2-year Action Plan of the Lab

The INNOTAL Talent Co-Creation Lab will therefore be implementing the following activities:
  • Conduct entrepreneurship education and innovation training activities for students and teachers
  • Encourage conduct of research and innovation activities in collaboration with external stakeholders (industry/enterprises, the non-profit sector and the public sector)
  • Create ICT tools enabling student co-creation in research and innovation and stakeholder co-creation in talent development
  • Enable ideation and brainstorming
  • Expose students to industry
  • Enable project development and implementation.
Although both the ATBI/IC and the Talent Co-Creation Lab promote innovation and entrepreneurship, the latter shall be tasked with those projects and activities concerned with information and communications technologies. The specific focus of Talent Co-Creation Lab activities is student experiential learning in collaboration with stakeholders. If there are projects of the ATBI/IC regarding farming/food processing/related technologies but with an IT component, the Talent Co-Creation Lab will be involved in the project.
 
Aside from the Action Plan that emphasized training and other activities, the following projects are to be implemented in the Talent Co-Creation Lab.
  • Enhancing the strawberry value chain through smart technologies and partnerships towards food resiliency in the new normal in the Cordillera Administrative Region
  • Development of an Information system for highland vegetable farming (mobile application).
