Invention-Based Enterprise Development Program (IBED)

The IBED Program supports an inventor in developing the invention to become a business enterprise by making it available to the consumers. 

IBED-1 supports development and pilot production of a technology or invention by providing financial support to commercially viable technologies as well as technical and consultancy services to applicants in order to reduce the risks in the marketing and initial commercialization of these technologies.

Subject to availability of funds, the Program shall provide financial assistance in the form of a grant of up to P350,000 to cover the pilot production costs such as raw materials, tools/apparatus, devices used for the production of the invention in sufficient quantity to pilot and market test the product. Other production costs such as labor, honoraria, professional services, transportation, communication, and overhead expenses will be the counterpart of the requesting inventor.
