Through the program, an academic institution/state university & college (SUC)/higher education institution (HEI) or research & development institution (RDI) in partnership with a Filipino company undertakes research and development to improve the partner-company’s products, processes, and services to enhance their competitiveness in their respective industries. Beneficiary-companies under this program must provide at least 20% counterpart funding and commit to adopt the technology that will be developed. This way, research outputs from the academe are directly translated commercially to the market. A CRADLE project can have a maximum funding of Php 5M, to be completed for a period of one to three years.
