On 17 April 2019, the Philippine Innovation Act was passed into law. It adopts innovation as a vital component of the country’s development policies to drive inclusive development and promote the growth and competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

Section 27 of the Republic Act 11293 or the Philippine Innovation Act, declared April 21 of every year as the “National Innovation Day” to promote public awareness and national support for innovation and highlight milestones of government and private sector innovation initiatives. This year's National Innovation Day (NID), which carries the theme “Unboxing the Filipinnovation Mindset,” aims to (a) increase the public’s awareness on the innovation programs and activities of the public and private sectors; (b) cultivate an innovative culture and mindset among Filipinos; and (c) promote Filipinnovation — our whole-of-nation call and commitment to accelerating the country’s progress through innovation.
