I.    Project Background

1.    Rationale

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is implementing a Technology Innovation for Commercialization (TECHNICOM) Program designed as a technology-transfer program. The program aims to fast track the commercialization of research and development (R&D) breakthroughs with excellent market potentials. It provides funds to carry out any of the following technology-transfer support activities: commercial prototype development; business plan/feasibility study preparation; intellectual property rights protection; technology valuation, negotiation and licensing; and semi-commercial production.

TECHNICOM has provided funding support for the preparation of a technology commercialization/business plan for the Tabletop Breast Milk Pasteurizer
