Abstract

An assessment of the technology business incubator (TBI)/science and technology (S&T) park scheme in the Philippines was carried out in the mid-1990s, when the scheme had been in operation some five years. In the initial enthusiasm, little attention had been paid to establishing precisely what is meant by ‘TBI’ and ‘S&T park’, or whether they existed to transfer technology, incubate new businesses, or both. The overall goal was to facilitate the contribution of technology to the economic and social resurgence of the country, but how this would happen was never established. Intermediate targets were not identified, so monitoring was confined to financial and administrative matters. Uncertainty plagued the implementation, so what was achieved was more attributable to the determination of individuals than to ambitious and often conflicting policies.
