About the RAISE Program
We aim to mirror the functions and initiatives of the DOST Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) Innovation and Technology Center (DPITC) in the region by providing assistance to the regional consortia on intellectual property management and transfer of technologies of selected consortia member institutions (CMIs).
Through the RAISE Program, regional capacity building and mentorship, IP and technology business development and management, strategic partnership and collaboration, and enhanced knowledge will be provided to hasten the commercialization and development of Science and Technology (S&T) based Agri-Aqua enterprise, as well as to maximize the economic potential of S&T innovation in the region.
Program Objectives:
Manage Regional AANR Technologies and Intellectual Properties
Support Regional Partners in Developing Technology Transfer Programs
Provide Capacity Building on Technology Transfer to R&D Partners
Create a Convergence Platform for Regional AANR Stakeholders
Facilitate Public-Private Access to AANR Technologies to Improve the Innovation Ecosystem in the Region; and
Strengthen Existing and Forge New Public-Private Partnerships for Research and Development Results Utilization (RDRU)
Illustrating the synergy of RAISE projects: from IP protection and market preparation (Projects 1 and 2) to technology incubation and knowledge promotion (Projects 3 and 4), driving innovation from conception to commercialization.

Collaborating Agencies:
As the funding agency, DOST-PCAARRD plays a pivotal role in driving the success of the RAISE Program. By providing essential financial support, they enable the implementation of key initiatives, ensuring that innovation and development thrive in the region.
As the leading partner, CSU plays a central role in implementing all four regional projects, focusing on technology transfer, IP protection, agribusiness, technology business incubation and knowledge management to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in agriculture.
As a newly established Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM) system, this component focuses on establishing IP protection for innovations in the Agri-Aqua and Natural Resources sectors

The Emblem
The logo for Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) features the following:
The outline of a lightbulb formed by plant saplings, representing growth and vitality in the agricultural sector.
Within the contours of the lightbulb, the Caraga map outline is ingeniously integrated as a filament/flame, symbolizing the region itself. The flame transitions in a gradient from green and gold to orange, reflecting the region's well-known natural resources such as silver and gold ores.
Emphasizing the interconnectedness of agriculture and aquaculture, a subtle fish silhouette is strategically placed within the negative space of the lightbulb.
The text "RAISE" and “CARAGA” are presented in a sans serif typeface (Poppins), accompanied by a dynamic blue arrow waving to the right and pointing upward, symbolizing progress and forward movement.
This design encapsulates RAISE's commitment to advancing agricultural innovation and sustainability, rooted in the dynamic landscape of the Caraga region.
