PH New Energy Ecosystem Map Launch
4:00PM-5:00PM
New Energy Nexus Philippines
Countries are on the move to accelerate the world’s transition to clean energy. With public and private investment increasing, and as more people and institutions become more aware of sustainable generation and use of energy, the clean energy industry offers multiple opportunities for businesses, technologies, and startups. With the Philippines’ high electricity rates, low adoption of renewable energy, and electrification rate, there are numerous opportunities for startups and innovation-driven solutions to enter the market. The Philippine New Energy Ecosystem Map is one way that we envision to bring the energy and innovation community together. The map contains the different indicators, mechanisms, and enabling environments relevant to startups, incubators, and public and private sector representatives and investors to understand the energy landscape and identify the different strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that the stakeholders can leverage on.
​
This event is ideal if you are a/an:
-
Investor or funder interested in clean energy and cleantech opportunities;
-
Startup or entrepreneur and you want to see the current gaps in the energy sector that can be solved by technology and innovation;
-
Incubator or entrepreneur-support organization and you want to identify areas in the energy community that needs further support and strengthening;
-
Public or private sector representatives and you want to understand who the ecosystem players are for collaboration.
We encourage energy and startup enthusiasts to join us as well, as this initiative is open to everyone interested to be part of the energy ecosystem!
Filipino Researchers as the Next Startup Founders
5:00PM-6:00PM
Saliksik
"Ideas are cheap, execution is everything.” This statement brings about a notion of implementation and execution in the startup world. In the same manner, we want to see more researchers implement solutions that solve our country's problems through entrepreneurship.
Saliksik and UPSCALE's collaboration aims to bring the three big players in the Philippine research ecosystem— government, academe, and industry— into a one-panel session. Topics within the session include researchers’ considerations when deciding to do a startup, the struggles of the researcher-founder, and what the Philippines could look like with a strong research and startup culture. Researchers, as potential startup founders, will learn the perspectives and motivations of each sector.
The solution to every societal problem starts with research, but this is only possible if research is successfully adopted or transferred to society. Let’s talk about how to improve research through entrepreneurship!
