Center for Microelectronics Development
The Center for Microelectronics Development is the joint project of Fastech and FAITH Colleges to create a multi-pronged platform to link academe and industry in electronics research and development activities. CMD had its earlier history starting in January 2012 when six staff and faculty engineers underwent 18-month immersion work in Integrated Circuit (IC) Design with BIT MICRO.
The center was established in July 2016 with the first laboratory for Integrated Circuit (IC) Design.
It supports the electronics and semiconductor industry through its electronics engineering program focused on digital and analog microelectronics design.

KAPIHAN SA CALABARZON
Electronics Kapihan sa Calabarzon is a bi-monthly forum for manufacturing
companies in electronics, semiconductor and
allied services in the said region.
Founded in August 2007, Electronics Kapihan sa Calabarzon was initiated by
Fastech Chairman and CEO Saturnino G. Belen.
This serves as a backchannel forum for the industry, academe and
government agencies to address issues and concerns, and establish useful networks.
MLB RESEARCH AND INNOVATION CONSORTIUM
Manila-Laguna-Batangas (MLB) Research Corridor is an envisioned consortium of Higher Education Institutions within the Manila-Laguna-Batangas circuit that will lead and drive the studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics south of Metro Manila.
With Southern Luzon as the hub of the electronics manufacturing industry that contributes more than 50% of the total Philippine exports annually, the location of six HEIs within this corridor is an academic thread that will strengthen the fabric of collaboration between and among these industries and the academic community.
Strategically located at the portal of this proposed consortium is the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) which will serve as the catalyst of the six proponents of the MLB Research and Innovation Consortium namely:
1. Asia Pacific College;
2. Batangas State University;
3. First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities;
4. Lyceum of the Philippines University – Batangas;
5. University of Perpetual Help System Laguna; and
6. University of the Philippines Los Baños
where all six are recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as Centers of Excellence and Development in the fields of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics.
