Food Innovation Centers
Industries can use the center to develop new products, product equivalents, product deviations and product reintroduction. A total of 16 partner industries from the food sector expressed their interest in using the centre.
Enhanced Metrology Facilities and Services
In the framework of the five-year modernization of the National Laboratory of Metrology to cover the relevant fields of measurement needed by the country, the improvement of metrology facilities and services including the addition of. To keep pace with the global interest in food metrology, ITDI began standardized development.
Modernizing the National Measurement System through Legislation
The Industrial Technology Development Institute is leading the review of the Metrology Law with the aim of ratifying a new legislation that will modernize the Philippines' national measurement system. This new legislation will replace Republic Act 9236, also known as the “National Metrology Act of 2003,” to meet the ever-evolving demand for accurate and credible measurements.
Innovation in Pre-Commercialization Activities
These are interrelated activities to facilitate systems for conducting technology audit, financial valuation, market validation, pitching and negotiations with potential technology adopters through the technology offering platform with the end goal of the successful commercialization of technological innovations.

TECHNICAL SERVICES
With the completion of the STD project titled "Integration of Testing Services for Rubber and Rubber-Based Products", its services are expected to increase because the Physical and Performance Testing Laboratory now offers advanced analytical testing for rubber and rubber-based products. New testing services were offered this year, which are the first in the country and are already accredited under the ISO/IEC standard. Regarding the continuous improvement of metrology facilities to better serve its customers in the long term.
Nevertheless, the services of the NML are projected to increase and even surpass its previous records as it moves towards its. ITDI continued to provide other specialized technical services to industry and other stakeholders with an increase of over 7% in services rendered to clients and nearly 7% in revenue generated. The Advanced Device and Materials Testing Laboratory (ADMATEL) continued to soar in 2017 with the addition of 52 new domestic and international clients to its patron list, most of which come from academia and the semiconductor and electronics industry.

PAPERS PRESENTED
The mechanical properties of the composites were reduced due to the failure mechanism of the composites such as debonding, delamination, holes, voids and fiber misalignment. In addition, the water absorption of the composites was reduced by alkaline treatment and incorporation of glass fibers. TG-DTG analysis also shows an improvement in the decomposition temperature of the composites due to the inclusion of glass fibers.
By increasing the filler concentration in the mixture, the viscosity of the dope also increases. The effect of the addition of sodium-modified montmorillonite and halloysite nanotubes to polyvinylidene fluoride flat membranes prepared via the phase inversion method was evaluated. The repeatability of the test method was assessed using three (3) levels of spiked samples, 2 µg/L for low, 6 µg/L for medium, and 12 µg/L for high, resulting in percent relative standard deviation (% RSD) of 3.72% respectively.

Linearity of the calibration curve for the analytical instrumentation was assessed by Residual Plot Analysis and data were fitted by ordinary least-squares method. Resulting data were within 95% confidence interval of the supplier's certified value and calculated laboratory and method bias was at 1.62%. The capacitance diaphragm gauge (CDG) is one of the most accurate transfer standards for use in atmospheric to medium vacuum regions.
Responses to heater effects and results of zero-pressure instability tests were also evaluated and presented. As shown by these results, zero pressure instability is a major concern for metal membrane CDG, while it has little effect for ceramic membrane CDG. Of the initial 150 isolates, 4 isolates that survived at each 100 ppm of Zn, Cr, Pb, and Ni exhibited high metal resistance and were identified at the Philippine Genome Center (UP Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines) as A isolates. ).
