D&L’s Chemrez Technologies Receives Award from DOST
Background/Description of the Disclosure

November 13, 2026 - D&L’s Chemrez Technologies, Inc. was honored by the Department of Science and Technology’s Balik Scientist Program (BSP) Annual Convention, held at The Manila Hotel on October 29, 2026. The award recognizes Chemrez Technologies as an active and valuable partner of the DOST’s Balik Scientist Program, a brain gain initiative of the government. The DOST-BSP flagship convention awarded Chemrez Technologies for hosting returning “Balik Scientists” and acknowledging their valuable contribution to strengthening the country's science, technology and innovation capabilities.

This year’s DOST-BSP Annual Convention theme “Balik Agham: Siyensiyang Pandaigdig, Para sa Bayan”, underscores the BSP’s mission bringing world-class scientific expertise, global networks, and innovative technologies back to the Philippines to strengthen the country's science, technology, and innovation ecosystem. Anchored on DOST's “Agham na Ramdam”, it emphasizes translating globally acquired knowledge into tangible benefits for Filipinos through improved public services, stronger industries, resilient communities, and sustainable national development. The event also serves as a platform for returning “Balik Scientists" to present their R&D breakthroughs spanning sectors such as health, agriculture, emerging technology, industrial manufacturing, and disaster resilience.

The annual flagship event also aims to facilitate a knowledge-exchange and strengthen Academe-Industry-Government Partnerships by translating scientific reports into commercial applications and sharing best global practices in local industrial sustainability at the convention’s Ugnayan Session.
One concrete example of this collaboration is Chemrez’s recent partnership with a DOST Balik Scientist, which has led to the development of an improved bio-based alternative to conventional petrochemical paint additives. With strong potential in both local and export markets, the product is currently undergoing further evaluation for commercial-scale manufacturing and broader industry adoption. This initiative highlights how collaboration with scientific experts can translate research and development into innovative, market-ready solutions while creating greater value from renewable, locally available resources.
“Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Chemrez Technologies, D&L Industries remains committed to advancing research and innovation by translating laboratory-scale discoveries into commercially viable specialty products. In collaboration with scientific experts, we continue to develop high-value coconut-based derivatives, specialty oleochemicals, and specialty resins, maximizing the value of locally available resources and strengthening the competitiveness of Philippine industries,” said Mr. Alvin Lao, President & CEO of D&L Industries.

During the session, Chemrez representatives shared real-world technical and regulatory challenges faced by local chemical manufacturers, providing actionable insights on how government grants and academic expertise can help address processing bottlenecks and improve product development. They also highlighted the value of structured collaborative research programs between host institutions and DOST Balik Scientists, emphasizing how these partnerships can facilitate knowledge transfer, provide scientific mentorship, and encourage greater private sector participation in the Balik Scientist Program.

The Balik Scientist Program (BSP) was established in 1975 as the brain-gain initiative of the government. Through the Program, foreign-based Filipino scientists, researchers, and experts are encouraged to return to the country to share their knowledge and expertise for the advancement of research, development, and innovation in the Philippines.
