Cavite-based university declared as science and technology ecozone
The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) recognized the University of Perpetual Help System (UPHS) in Molino, Cavite, as a Knowledge, Innovation, Science and Technology (KIST) special economic zone institute.
UPHS, which is building an AltaHub innovation institute for health, business, and technology programs, is the first private higher education institution to be recognized as a KIST ecozone.
“The Philippine Economic Zone Authority made the best choice in tapping UPHS as its partner for the promotion and creation of Philippine startup ecozones that support organizations aiming to develop an innovative product, process or business including startup enablers,” Bacoor City Mayor Lani Revilla said.
As a KIST park, UPHS is set to collaborate with foreign schools to offer programs training the workforce.
