YouthHack Startup Challenge Goes to Southern Luzon
Validate your ideas and get all the startup must-know’s in this weekend of discovery, networking and fun— brought to you by YouthHack CALABARZON (Region IV-A).
The Start-Up Challenge is a two-day event which aims to give high school and university students learn more about technology and entrepreneurship. Established in 2014, the Start-Up Challenge became one of the signature events of YouthHack, now a global non-profit organization present worldwide including Italy, Hongkong, Singapore, USA, Dubai and many more.
For the first time in the Philippines, the Start-Up Challenge will be held outside the National Capital Region (NCR). This has been the goal of the Region IV-A Chapter — to bridge the gap between learning opportunities and students from Southern Luzon.
