Summary/Abstract: This study investigated why and how R&D BIOTECH innovators in higher education institutions achieve success. It used a qualitative method employing a single case study research design. The data was obtained from face-to-face, one-on-one, and open-ended interviews with eight (8) scientists-innovators in UPLB Biotechnology. Descriptive analysis was engaged using coding and content analysis which involved tagging the text to other qualitative data using a system of categories. Based on the results, external Environmental Aspects and External Relations drivers were determined to have unique characteristics related to the R&D BIOTECH agricultural sector influence innovation. Further, findings showed a unique competency pattern and specific attributes that enable successful R&D BIOTECH innovation in higher education institutions. Finally, the knowledge-sharing process significantly contributes to a successful innovation product that the end-users can utilize – farmers and the society at large – bringing social justice.
