🚀 From Programs to Platforms: Build a 24/7 Innovation Ecosystem

Incubators today are running more workshops, bootcamps, and accelerators than ever—but are they truly driving startup success? Many still struggle to attract top founders, sustain mentor engagement, and track real impact across fragmented tools and short-term programs.

The reality is, startups don’t operate in cohorts—they build in real time. Founders need continuous access to mentors, markets, and investors, not just during scheduled sessions but whenever opportunities and challenges arise.

🌐 It’s time to move beyond programs and build ecosystems. Discover how universities can transform their incubators into always-on global innovation platforms—connecting founders, mentors, and investors across time zones, 24/7. Powered by InnovNation AI, this approach enables scalable, data-driven support that drives real outcomes.

​This event is also in partnership with SCALE NCR & COLAB Cafe.

🎉 GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT ALERT! 🌍

From Startup QC Student Category: Squad 2 all the way to Tokyo, Japan — our students didn’t just participate… they dominated on a global stage! 🚀
A huge shoutout to Swine Scan, led by founder Jane Cristel Bohol, for winning the EMC Global Award at the EMC GLOBAL Summit 2026 — a prestigious international platform where startups from Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and India came together to pitch, connect, and showcase innovation.

Swine Scan is not just an award winner — it’s a groundbreaking AI + IoT‑enabled livestock health monitoring system that detects early signs of disease in pigs, empowering farmers with real‑time insights and helping prevent outbreaks before they spread. That’s impact with real world value! 🐖🤖💡

We also want to celebrate the remarkable achievement of Impulse Dynamics led by Edward Dane Perez — another Filipino team that earned recognition during the same summit. 👏

This isn’t just about accolades… it’s about Startup QC representing the Philippines with excellence, ingenuity, and global promise. From pitching among the brightest Asian founders to standing shoulder to shoulder with international innovators — these teams have put QC on the map! 💥

Let’s continue cheering for these visionaries who reminded the world that Filipino founders can compete — and win — anywhere. 💙

Quezon City, in collaboration with SCALE NCR, is conducting a stakeholder consultation to update its startup ecosystem map. The activity will convene stakeholders across supply, knowledge, policy, capital, and demand sectors to build a clearer and more actionable understanding of the ecosystem.

Insights from this session directly inform how city programs, incentives, and infrastructure are designed and implemented—from the Startup Fiscal Incentives Ordinance to the upcoming Innovation Hub at the Quezon Memorial Circle. This is part of keeping QC startup-friendly by design and responsive to real ecosystem needs.
