Another incubatee from Balaoan, La Union, Mrs. Mildred Magtoto, forged a Memorandum of Agreement with DMMMSU at the Central Administration Building, Bacnotan, La Union on September 24, 2021.

ATBI Program aims to accelerate technology-based start-ups and helps incubatees scale their business up. (Prof. Victoria Malaya)
