WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE NEST? We're ready to go Beyond.

The journey continues.

CPUGAD NEXT: Beyond the Nest — the CPUGAD TBI Year 2 Culminating Activity — is happening on July 16, 2026, at 1:00 PM at the Grand Xing Imperial Hotel, Iloilo City.

For two years, the DOST- CPU CPUGAD TBI has nurtured ideas, empowered innovators, cultivated startups, and strengthened the regional innovation ecosystem.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead—not just to what we have accomplished, but to the greater opportunities that await beyond incubation.

Anchored on the theme "Beyond the Nest," this year's culminating activity introduces N.E.X.T. as the pathway toward deeper collaboration and greater impact:

🤝 Networking — Strengthening connections among startups, industry, government, investors, and the academe.

💡 Exhibits — Showcasing innovative technologies, startup ventures, and milestone achievements of our incubatees.

🔄 eXchange — Fostering meaningful dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collaborative opportunities across the innovation ecosystem.

🚀 Technology Matching — Connecting technologies, innovators, and institutions to accelerate commercialization and sustainable growth.

This is more than a celebration of our second year—it's the culmination of two years of building an innovation ecosystem, empowering startups, and fostering meaningful partnerships.

Together with our partners, startups, and stakeholders, we celebrate the impact we've created and the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue advancing the regional innovation ecosystem.

The nest has prepared us. Now, it's time to take flight.

📌 This is an invitation-only event. We look forward to welcoming our confirmed guests and delegates this July 16.

See you at CPUGAD NEXT!
