Abstract:

This paper developed a framework to improve operational efficiency in feedmill industries in Batangas Province, focusing on three key pillars: technopreneurship, innovation facilitation, and corporate networking. The study involved 400 feedmill employees with expertise in these areas and used quantitative analysis with the Shapiro-Wilk Test and Spearman’s rho through SPSS version 28. The study’s findings highlighted the following key insights: Technopreneurship is driven by entrepreneurship skills, technological proficiency, and market orientation, enabling effective adaptation and innovation; Innovation facilitation, backed by strategic R&D, strong infrastructure, and solid processes, advances technopreneurship; Corporate networking enhances both technopreneurship and innovation through its focus on network structure, information sharing, and knowledge transfer. Feedmill industries generally agreed on the company’s effective and multi-faceted technopreneurial skills, their active facilitation of innovation, and their recognition of key indicators of corporate networking. This framework provides valuable insights for feedmills and a foundation for future research on how these factors can drive industrial growth in the region. By integrating these pillars, feedmill industries can achieve greater resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable development.

Keywords: corporate networking, feedmill industry, innovation facilitation, process innovation, technopreneurship
