As the Department of Science and Technology - Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST-TAPI) embarks on a mission of broadening the horizon for Filipino innovation and inventions, DOST-TAPI also aims to extend the market reach of locally-developed technologies beyond the Philippines. Banking on a strategic vision, the institute is lining up the best of Philippine inventions and innovations to a global stage to tap into new markets and gain more opportunities.

Serving as one of the brightest milestones of DOST-TAPI is its membership in the International Federation of Inventors Association (IFIA).  Founded in 1968 in London under the supervision of the United Nations, IFIA facilitates international work in the field of invention. By becoming a member of IFIA, DOST-TAPI gained access to networks of inventors, competitions, awards, and marketers, amplifying its reach and impact on the global scene.
