The Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST-TAPI) formally commenced the implementation of two newly approved projects under its TECHNiCOM Program, which aim to provide technology-driven solutions to critical national concerns in infrastructure and food security. A total of ₱8.53 million in grant funding was awarded to support these innovations as they advance toward commercialization and wider societal adoption.

Among the projects is Project DAAN (Digital Analytics and Asset-Based Inspection of Road Networks), led by Engr. Julius Marvin V. Flores, which received ₱3.56 million to develop digital solutions that can enhance operational efficiency, accessibility, and technology-enabled community development.

Also supported is FoodSecure PH: A Locally-Engineered High-Nutrition Compressed Food Solution for Disaster Relief, Feeding Programs, and Malnutrition Support, led by Ms. Anna Bettina N. Luz, which received ₱4.96 million to strengthen food resilience and promote innovative approaches to nutrition, disaster preparedness, and sustainable food systems.

The TECHNiCOM Program is one of DOST-TAPI’s flagship initiatives that supports research-based technologies and early-stage startups in achieving market readiness through funding assistance for pilot testing, validation, and commercialization activities.
