About the PhilDev Labs Innovation Challenge
A 3-week competition wherein university students and innovators are invited to produce sustainable enterprise solutions in response to operational gaps (formed into problem statements) shared by partner organizations. The winning concepts are given prizes and provided with mentorship, incubation, and integration support under the Labs, if requested.
The goal? To further strengthen the relationship between innovators and organizations in generating relevant products, services, and systems towards inclusive and innovative growth.

Innovation Challenge Journey
We use a Human-Centered approach in designing solutions to problems.
Here's how your journey will look like taking on our Challenges.
Empathy Phase
This is where you understand your users and beneficiaries of the innovation you’re designing. Get to know them through interviews and learning sessions.
Define Phase
This is where you narrow down the problem that you want to solve. From the ideas, stories, data, and insights you’ve gathered, how can you converge these into one ‘How Might We…” statement?
Ideate Phase
Generate and welcome as much ideas as you can without judgement to address the problem that you want to solve. Don’t be a balloon popper okay?
Development Phase
This is where you finally start bringing your idea to life. Remember that it doesn’t have to be perfect at the onset. Create a minimum viable product that addresses your customers’ needs.
