Bam on DOST's Electronics Product Development Center
Interview during the Launch

Q: Ano ang significance ng facilities na ito para sa SMEs?

"Para sa mga SMEs at start-ups na gumagawa ng electronic products, kadalasan they have to send their products abroad for testing. Tapos matagal ang turnaround time niyan bago maituloy ang pagbuo ng product development.

With this facility, puwede na nilang gawin dito. The rates that this facility will charge will be significantly less that ASEAN rates. Kumbaga, instead of going outside or sending our products outside for testing, puwede na nating gawin dito sa Pilipinas."

Q: Ano ang hope na masisimulan ang ganitong opportunities for SMEs in the Philippines to engage in this industry?

"If you look at our industries, maraming service oriented. Magaling tayo sa marketing, magaling tayo sa creatives.

But iyong manufacturing ng native products, you can say kulang pa talaga. This facility can help the Filipinos, mga inventors, mga gumagawa ng produkto, to make their products faster, more efficiently and at a cheaper cost.

Hopefully, iyong mga SMEs at startups natin na may produkto, they can use this facility to develop their product further."
