CTUโTuburan Conducts Training on Technology Transfer for Daanbantayan Incubatees
Cebu Technological UniversityโTuburan Campus successfully conducted a โTraining on Technology Transferโ to strengthen the capacity of its incubatees in adopting and utilizing university-developed technologies for enterprise use. The initiative was part of the campusโ continuing efforts under the Accelerator and Technology Business Incubation (ATBI) program to support the growth of local entrepreneurs through research-based innovation.
The activity aimed to train the personnel of the incubatees in understanding product processes and the practical application of transferred technologies, ensuring that they can effectively integrate these innovations into their production systems and business operations. Rather than focusing on inventing technologies, the training emphasized how to apply, manage, and commercialize existing university-generated technologies responsibly and sustainably.

The training featured two Daanbantayan-based incubatees who received technology transfers from CTU:

– GPA Food Products Trading, owned by Perigrina A. Arquio
These enterprises are actively involved in food product processing and marketing. With CTUโs support, they have begun adopting advanced production and packaging methods to enhance quality, marketability, and sustainability.
