About DITECH

DLSU Innovation and Technology (DITECH) Fair

Started in 2012, the DLSU Innovation and Technology (DITECH) Fair is an annual event hosted by the DLSU Innovation and Technology Office (DITO) in partnership with the DLSU Intellectual Property Office (DIPO) to showcase and bring recognition to the best innovative solutions developed by De La Salle University. This is to encourage further development and nation-wide implementation through commercialization, protection of intellectual property rights, and collaboration with the government, industry and other research entities. Moreover, it is to inspire and cultivate the nature of research in the university to be led towards nation building and driven by the core values of St. John Baptist De La Salle.

Together with the exhibit, the event consists of plenary sessions associated to the specified theme for each year conducted by well-renowned speakers, a series of paper presentations on the selected works of innovation and creativity, and a student business pitch competition.

De La Salle University envisions itself to be a “leading learner-centered and research university… in the service of Church and society.” This vision guides the institution’s academic curricula, its approach to social engagement, and its research priorities. De La Salle University therefore celebrates the social impact of the innovations developed by the members of its community, as it further encourages the diffusion of knowledge, technology, and innovation for public good.

The 6th DLSU Innovation and Technology Fair takes the theme “Green Technologies → Social Impact”, highlighting the importance of the economic and social impact of sustainable innovations generated from research and creative activity. The event further has the following sub-themes:

    1. The social impact of the inventive and creative activities of universities, industry, and government
    2. The social impact of emerging technology in the age of Industry 4.0
    3. Creative arts and technology towards social innovation
    4. Social entrepreneurship
    5. Innovation-conscious policy-making
