The second Regional Agribusiness Masterclass, which ran from 16 to 18 June at the university’s Center for Flexible Learning, was organized by the Department of Science and Technology through its Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement program.

Nineteen participants from member institutions of the Ilocos Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium attended the training.

The sessions targeted business development and commercialization skills for researchers, technology transfer officers and innovation developers.
