Ten groups move forward and are one step closer to bringing their ideas to life in the Globe 5G Hackathon, the first and biggest event of its kind in the Philippines.
Together with De La Salle University (DLSU) Animo Labs, Globe screened over 100 idea submissions and brought them down to 30 for the Idea Pitch Competition round. Among those, 10 groups emerged, namely Alaga Health, LunaX, bant.AI, OHC, D’Hacks, Team CamvS, Handuraw, Team Cardinals, iGAT, and Tenth Maria, which were a mix of students and young professionals.
Focus areas for the competition were particular to how Globe’s 5G Technology can positively impact society (education, healthcare, livelihood), industries (retail, manufacturing, logistics, e-commerce), and build intelligent cities (disaster risk management, sustainability, asset and resource management, transportation).
