<p><strong>MANILA</strong> – American aerospace company Lockheed Martin announced on Tuesday its collaboration with the Southern Methodist University (SMU), a private research institution in Texas, United States, to empower Philippine industries as well as the academe.</p>
<p>The partnership will provide a platform for technology and knowledge transfer, as well as funding for business incubation, government initiatives, and academic programs aimed at contributing to upskilling the workforce and fostering job creation.</p>
<p>A research lab and training space will be established, enabling Filipino professionals to develop innovative solutions and prototypes that can be applied in various industries.</p>
<p>SMU’s Center for Digital and Human-Augmented Manufacturing (CDHAM) and Deason Innovation Gym (DIG) are seen to significantly enhance the Philippines’ research and development capacity in digital modeling, simulations, virtual and augmented reality, robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>“We are committed to investing in the development of new capabilities and intellectual properties in close collaboration with leading universities and companies in the Philippines,” Lockheed Martin F-16 Business Development director Jess Koloini said in a statement.</p>
<p>The partnership, she said, will not only support the country’s self-reliant defense posture, but also create a lasting impact on the Filipino workforce, driving economic growth.</p>
<p>To recall, the United States Department of State has approved the sale of 20 F-16 Block 70 aircraft to the Philippines last April, to help strengthen the country’s defense capabilities.</p>
<p>According to Lockheed, the sale of these fighter jets includes a comprehensive industrial collaboration package designed to deliver economic value for the country, and this package now incorporates a strategic partnership with the SMU.</p>
<p>Through the partnership, Filipino professionals could access SMU’s innovation tools and equipment to help them develop innovative solutions and prototypes.</p>
<p>Collaboration with leading universities and companies in the Philippines to develop new capabilities and intellectual properties is also in the pipeline.</p>
<p>“These projects will significantly boost the Philippines’ academia and industry, enabling them to leverage digital innovation technologies to drive economic growth and global industrial competitiveness,” said Ben Zoghi, SMU associate dean for Advanced Studies and Industry Partnerships.<em><strong> (PNA)</strong></em></p>
