This conference circled around the theme “Philippines in 3D: Data-Driven Deep Technologies” through several panel sessions, two (2) research pitching sessions, and a Poster and Booth Presentation session. In the startup-related context, simply put, Deep Tech is the category of technology that results from intensive, innovative, and scientific research and development (R&D) processes. According to the Boston Consulting Group, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and robotics, among others, are some of the prominent research fields that are used for deep-tech innovations with many being an intersection of these fields.
Large portions of the conference were dedicated to digging deeper into the issues of the Philippines in terms of infrastructure, capacity-building, and available programs for enabling Filipino researchers to do data-backed deep-tech research and how the forestry, prenatal care, and energy sectors can further be aided by IT or AI technologies.
