VSU-TBI CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKThe VSU-TBI is designed to encourage and support the development of technology-based businesses by AANR students and graduates, growers, processors, researchers and entrepreneurs. It will offer all necessary business development support services to commercialize IP assets of VICAARP member institutions and support the expansion of employment and increase income opportunities among targeted clients. The VSU-TBI though focused on agriculture and food will not preclude incubatees who choose to engage in business ventures that are focused on forestry and natural resources technologies. The TBI is expected to fast track the commercialization of AANR technologies that consequently promote domestic resource exploitation and improve competitiveness of the region. |
