Bohol strengthens innovation and entrepreneurship by connecting real-world challenges with homegrown solutions.
This was after the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh), under the leadership of Governor Aris Aumentado, through the Bohol Economic Development Investment Promotion Office (BEDIPO), supported the opening of Flip the Script: The Reverse Pitch 2026 on August 18 at the Ceremonial Hall of the New Provincial Capitol.
Organized by DTI, DOST, and DICT, the two-day event gathers 100 participants from government, academe, MSMEs, and the innovation sector.
SP Member Lawrence Xavier Ancla also introduced the proposed Bohol Startup Development Program, featuring incubation support and capital grants of up to ₱1 million for qualified innovative enterprises.
The event features breakout sessions where problem owners and solution makers collaborate to identify challenges and develop potential solutions.
The initiative advances the PGBh’s Strategic Change Roadmap toward a smart, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable province and supports Bohol as the Philippines’ first and only UNESCO Global Geopark Regenerative Island.
