INNOTECH Explores ASEAN-BAC Partnership for Inclusive Growth and Innovation
When conversations connect sectors, they shape the future of an entire region
SEAMEO INNOTECH, led by Center Director Dr. Majah Leah V. Ravago, engaged with ASEAN-BAC Philippines—ASEAN’s apex private sector advisory body that directly informs regional leaders and drives economic integration—to explore a strategic partnership for the 2026 Chairship. Convened by Former DTI Undersecretary Nora “Noya” Terrado, Senior Adviser for Women, the discussion advanced a shared agenda on women’s economic empowerment, with a strong push for greater participation in STEAM and ICT.
The dialogue sets the stage for impactful collaboration in research, capacity-building, and evidence-based policy support—bridging education, business, and policy to accelerate inclusive growth across ASEAN.
Because when the right voices come together, regional change becomes real.\
