Ready, Spark, Charge: Hacking the Future of Energy
The Philippines’ startup ecosystem has grown rapidly in recent years, backed by strong government initiatives and a growing network of over 50 technology business incubators across the country. Despite this progress, startups focused on energy and climate remain significantly underrepresented in bootcamps, competitions, and incubator programs.
To close this gap, “Ready, Spark, Charge: Hacking the Future of Energy” was launched—a startup hackathon dedicated to climate and energy solutions.

Help entrepreneurs fast-track the market entry of their solutions by providing access to industry experts, resources, and tailored acceleration programs.
