One of DOST’s identified outcomes is to provide
innovative, cost effective and appropriate technologies that enable MSMEs to
develop and produce competitive products that meet world-class standards. To
achieve this, DOST has been implementing the Small Enterprise Technology
Upgrading Program (SETUP) as a strategy to encourage and assist MSMEs as well
as private and government institutions to implement technological innovations
in order to enhance their competitiveness and support the economic development
in the countryside. The program provides various modalities of technology
transfer interventions and provision of technical consultancy services in order
to attain its major objectives.
Since it was implemented in 2003, DOST VI had
assisted several MSMEs most especially in the following priority sectors:
Food Processing; Metals and Engineering; Horticulture; Gifts, Decors
& Handicrafts; Furniture; Aquatic and Marine; Information &
Communications Technology and Health Products & Services. Areas of interventions
include product quality improvement, human resources development, cost
minimization, waste management and other operation related activities.
With the agency’s continuing effort to assist
MSMEs, OneSTore was conceptualized and presently being implemented. OneSTore.ph
is an e-commerce web application platform that operates nationwide and caters
primarily to Philippine consumers. It hopes to further assist the Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) widen the scope of their target market.
Eventually, it can help deliver economic growth and increase business
opportunities of those enterprises in the rural communities. OneSTore provides
customers with an effortless shopping experience and retailers with simple and
direct access to one of the largest customer base-system in the Philippines.
