The Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST- PCIEERD) recently presented Science and Technology (S&T) Roadmap for textile industry aiming to reinvigorate the country’s once dominating sector at the DOST Executive Lounge in Taguig City.
Representing DOST Secretary Fortunato dela Peña, Dr. Carlos Primo David, executive director of DOST-PCIEERD, said that they, at the DOST, desire to help the local textile industry rise back to the ranks in the international community by employing science and technology (S&T) in textile research and development (R&D).
The roadmap aims at Philippine textile industry that is culture-sensitive, robust, sustainable, and profitable based on Filipino knowledge using locally available raw materials.
The roadmap by DOST to boost textile industry is drawn for a duration of five years from 2016 to 2020.
