About InTTO

We aim to drive the culture of innovation by providing business and technology transfer opportunities.

At the UC Innovation and Technology Transfer Office (InTTO), our mission is to drive a culture of innovation within the university community, fostering an environment where creativity and forward-thinking thrive among students, faculty, and staff. We nurture the development of ideas from all stakeholders, ensuring a collaborative approach that harnesses a diverse range of perspectives and insights.

How we Started

The University of the Cordilleras Innovation and Technology Transfer Office (InTTO) traces its origins to June 2021, when it was established as an integral part of the University following the successful implementation of two key projects: the DOST-HEIRIT Project Grant for the Establishment of the UC Innovation and Nurturing Space (UCIANS) and the DOST IMPACT Program Grant for the Establishment of the Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office of the University of the Cordilleras (KTTO).

These initiatives, concluded in June 2021 and April 2022, respectively, laid the foundation for InTTO’s mission to become a pivotal player in the country’s innovation ecosystem. Operating under the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Research, InTTO aims to foster disruptive and innovative ideas, incubate promising concepts, and facilitate intellectual property protection and technology transfer opportunities to address societal challenges effectively. This mission is realized through its two subunits: the UC Innovation and Nurturing Space and the Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office.
