In order to address gaps and issues in developing the Intellectual Capital in SUCs, PISI has four program pillars, namely 1) Innovation Diagnostics, 2) Intellectual Capital Development, 3) Inclusive Innovation Partnership and Collaboration, and 4) Inclusive Innovation Ecosystem.

At the launch, PASUC President and Batangas State University President, Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo was joined by over 100 of state universities and colleges as well as PASUC partners, Dr. Diosdado Banatao, Chairman, Philippine Development Foundation, Dr. Richard Abendan, Chief of Party, USAID-STRIDE Program, and Mr. Goh Siak Koon, General Manager, Singapore Polytechnic International.
