Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through its Technology Application and promotion Institute (TAPI) is providing financial support to those who need to commercialize their inventions. P10-M is the allotted annual budget which is especially intended for the commercialization of their products.

For the invention-based enterprise development, TAPI provide financial assistance to the inventor for the purchase of machinery and equipment for production and working capital.

On the other hand, the industry- based invention development is another form of assistance provided for by TAPI by matching potential inventors with the technology needs of industries in the community.
