This momentum continues to grow as the innovation ecosystem is strengthened through the presentation of a roadmap for the establishment and development of Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) among participating HEIs during MINDSPRING: Faculty Bootcamp of the 3rd Northern Mindanao Research and Innovation Summit — LAMBIGIT 2026, held at Mallberry Suites Business Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City on April 30, 2026.

More than a story of grit, her journey reveals the quiet power of support systems—mentors who listen, professors who understand, and institutions that choose to believe in student-led ideas.
Her experience reminds us that startups don’t grow in isolation; they are shaped by communities that create space, extend opportunities, and champion young innovators. With the right backing, student founders can move beyond limitations and build ventures that truly matter.

𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗿. 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗼, Consultant of CDO Bites, takes the stage for 𝙎𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 3: 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙪𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙨—𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙄𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙑𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨.

Challenging the notion that every idea must begin with a complete business plan, the session highlights the importance of protecting inspiration and sustaining motivation—key ingredients in transforming ideas into viable ventures.
Through intentional program design, mentorship, and ecosystem support, HEIs can transform student ideas into scalable ventures—building a new generation of founders and strengthening the innovation landscape in Northern Mindanao.
