And that's a wrap for Startup Weekend Bohol 2025!
Grateful for all the participants, mentors, judges, sponsors, and supporters from the Bohol Innovation community for making this year's Techstars Startup Weekend event a success. Sprout Up Bohol proudly co-organized this event alongside other communities like DEVCON Bohol, Future Technologists of the Philippines - BISU Main, and Toastmasters Bohol.
We believe Startup Weekend is an avenue for community activation, where we're able to share the mindset of being comfortable with being uncomfortable, building something meaningful always trumps building something perfect, and the spirit of learning by doing.
We have other events planned through the year, of course, but this by far is the largest one! If you would like a Startup Weekend to happen in Tagbilaran City again, please reach out! We rely on volunteer organizers and supporters to keep the momentum going.
Read on to see what's fertilizing.

Community for (Software) Developers, by Developers
Bohol has officially established a DEVCON Chapter that allows the province to tap into the national DEVCON network. This means that Bol-anons can benefit from free events and workshops hosted locally for beginner and veteran software developers, but also get involved in competitions and national conferences that can open job or partnership opportunities for the locality.
