Batangas State University, The National Engineering University
The Batangas State University ‚ The National Engineering University and Aboitiz Economic Estates have joined forces to establish the BatStateU Aboitiz LIMA Campus‚ a pioneering model of industry-based education in the Philippines.
This collaboration combines BatStateU’s legacy of academic excellence with Aboitiz’s leadership in infrastructure, technology, energy, and sustainability. Together, they aim to nurture a new generation of professionals who are both academically proficient and industry-ready, equipped with the competencies to thrive in a rapidly evolving global economy.
The partnership took root in August 2024, when the concept of a BatStateU campus within LIMA Estate was first presented to Mr. Raphael De Mesa, Head of Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates. Strategic dialogues continued in early 2025, leading to joint activities such as curriculum co-development workshops, technical planning sessions, and engagements with key industry stakeholders within the estate.
A major milestone was reached on June 13, 2025, when the Aboitiz InfraCapital Board approved the donation of ten hectares of land within the LIMA Estate to BatStateU for the development of its new engineering and technology campus. This was followed by the University Board of Regents’ approval on June 19, 2025, formally establishing the BatStateU Aboitiz LIMA Campus and its program offerings.
The partnership was officially sealed on August 12, 2025, through a Memorandum of Agreement signed in Makati City. This event marked the start of a shared mission to build a world-class academic environment within a thriving industrial ecosystem, bridging education, innovation, and enterprise to shape the engineers and technologists of the future.c
