128 years of sovereignty. True independence gave us the freedom to build; now, homegrown innovation gives us the power to lead. As we honor the resilience of our past, we look toward the futureโ€”where Filipino engineers, startup founders, and innovators are designing deep-tech solutions to conquer tomorrow's global challenges. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญโœจ

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.

DOST-CPU CPUGAD TBI had the privilege of welcoming Coherent Laser Enterprises Philippines for a productive discussion on potential partnership opportunities in research, innovation, and technology development.

The engagement was led by CPU President Rev. Dr. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy and Vice President for Research, Development, and Extension Dr. Aries Roda Romallosa, underscoring the University's commitment to strengthening industry-academe collaboration and advancing innovation-driven growth.

Discussions highlighted opportunities to leverage Central Philippine University's research capabilities, laboratory facilities, and talent pool to support technology validation, application-driven research, and workforce developmentโ€”key factors in accelerating technology adoption and commercialization.

For Central Philippine University, this potential collaboration aligns with ongoing efforts to expand research and laboratory infrastructure, strengthen technology transfer initiatives, and foster a thriving innovation ecosystem.

As CPUGAD TBI continues to build meaningful partnerships, engagements such as this pave the way for translating research into real-world impact and creating new opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional development.

Bridging regional innovation with global startup ecosystems, the DOST-CPU CPUGAD TBI team recently conducted a benchmarking visit to leading innovation hubs in Metro Manila.

Led by Project Leader Engr. Gelvie C. Lagos, General Manager Mark Gil D. Peraman, and Investments and Networking Unit Head Mr. Renjo B. D***l, the delegation visited Plug & Play Manila and LaunchGarage Innovation Hub in Quezon City. ๐Ÿš€

The initiative focuses on strengthening CPUGAD TBIโ€™s incubation capabilities through insights from world-class accelerator and corporate innovation models. Key discussions centered on onboarding global mentors for CPUGAD startups, co-organizing capacity-building workshops, and exploring cross-border partnership opportunities.

The visit also provided valuable insights into startup acceleration, mentorship programs, and access to funding and venture capital networks. These learnings will help inform CPUGAD TBIโ€™s ongoing efforts to strengthen pathways for startups, spin-offs, and innovation-driven enterprises to access grants, investments, venture capital, angel investors, and other financing mechanisms necessary for growth, commercialization, and market expansion.

The event marked two key milestones: celebrating five years of local ecosystem building under the theme "5๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ข ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ," and the Philippine debut of the KMLx Summit. Previously hosted only in Japan and Malaysia, this inaugural Philippine staging brought Leave a Nest's global "Knowledge Manufacturing" blueprint directly to local enablers, focusing on generating deep-tech concepts and cultivating the next generation of societal leaders.

Driving the conversation during the premier "Regions and Development" Roundtable Discussion, CPUGAD TBI General Manager Mark Gil D. Peraman and PackUp CEO Matt Rafael Genito joined key industry leaders on the panel. Together, they engaged in a focused discussion on the current state of innovation across Philippine regions. The panel examined key grassroots challenges such as gaps in local infrastructure and resource accessibility, while also highlighting opportunities and support mechanisms that can help strengthen and accelerate regional startup development.

Through these discussions, the CPUGAD TBI delegation contributed to ongoing conversations on strengthening linkages between local innovators and national networks, supporting pathways for mentorship, collaboration, and potential market access for emerging ventures in the region.
