For a period of one year, the incubatees will receive mentoring and support from UST in the areas of branding, pitching, marketing, prototyping, business planning, commercialization, working space, and access to network.

According to its website, the TOMASInno Center “declares its commitment to the pursuit of truth and formation of technically competent innovators and technopreneurs imbued with Christian values needed for the service of the Church, the country, and the world.”
