Stratbase Institute served as a partner of Team Sweden—composed of the Embassy of Sweden in the Philippines and Business Sweden Manila—for the “Triple Helix Seminar: Advancing Innovation through Government, Industry and Academia,” held at the Manila Polo Club.

Drawing on Sweden’s experience, the seminar explored how collaboration among government, industry and academia can advance innovation, strengthen competitiveness and support sustainable growth. Discussions examined how this approach could contribute to Philippine development priorities, particularly in defence, mining and healthcare.

The exchange highlighted opportunities for the Philippines and Sweden to deepen cooperation by connecting research, public policy and industry expertise to address shared development challenges.
