We have had the pleasure of meeting several people representing local education and businesses in Santa Rosa and Laguna region.
Gardenia make bread and they make a lot of bread! A tour of their impressive factory which produces thousands of loaves every hour and meeting with gave us a great insight into how organisations operate in the Laguna region.
De La Salle University has over 16,000 undergraduate students and the Science & Technology Complex of the university is located in impressive buildings set in 50 hectares of natural countryside in Laguna just outside Santa Rosa. They have plans for significant growth so they can continue to develop individuals who can bring innovative ideas to local businesses (such as located in the local Laguna Technopark) and who can start new businesses based on their research during their time at the University.
Panasonic are one of the many engineering organisations who have located in the Laguna Technopark. They produce the components that go into many of the products we use today such as DVD players, Blu-ray players and disk drives.
The input, experience and ideas from all the people we have met will help us to design a better Laguna Industry Network for Knowledge, Innovation & Technology Technical Business Incubator.
