QBO Innovation Hub, a public-private partnership looking to empower Filipino startups, has concluded its inaugural Startup Pinay BOOTQAMP, a program that aims to help new women-led startups by cultivating and validating their business ideas.

QBO Innovation Hub, the Philippines’ leading startup incubator, hosted the Philippine round of the 2021 She Loves Tech Global Competition that was held just last quarter. The global startup competition is the world’s largest startup competition for women and technology, with 50 locations worldwide spanning across six continents. It is a fully integrated program aimed at creating, championing, and scaling technologies by and for women.

When a woman succeeds in a male-dominated industry, we should also look at the support systems that she has in place that have enabled her to thrive. There are programs such as Startup Pinay, an initiative by QBO Innovation Hub to increase the participation of women in the tech sector and to provide focused support for female startup founders.

QBO Innovation Hub in partnership with the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, has concluded INQBATION: The Take Off with a Demo Day. The Demo Day capped off a six-month virtual incubation program for early-stage startups looking to help individuals and businesses digitize their operations and participate in the digital economy.
