Looking back at this milestone from last year, we see the real-world impact of what our ๐ยณ ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ aims to achieve.
One year ago, our incubatee, PackUp, took our ecosystem's mission to the national stage at GrowthCon PH 2025 of The Business Manual. Competing against top-tier institutions from Metro Manila, they stood out as the only university finalist from the regions to break into the Top 5 nationwide.
Led by Matt Rafael Genito and Jed Matthew Mamosto, the team proved that combining AI with packaging and software engineering can build real, scalable solutions for MSMEs.
This achievement stands as a proud product of the foundations we build here. Celebrating past milestones drives us to nurture even bigger ones today. At CPUGAD TBI, we continue to support our founders as they push boundaries, disrupt industries, and represent Western Visayas on the national stage.
