Manila and Cebu
In 2019, 36 tech-based solutions to marine conservation issues were selected to participate in the Haquathon, three-day hackathon that took place simultaneously in Manila and Cebu. The Haquathon selected eight projects to receive seed funding to pilot their ideas. Project implementation took place from June-December 2019.
The winners were gathered in Metro Manila in February 2020 for the Haquathon Summit, where they had the opportunity to present project updates and network with potential partners.
​
The Haquathon is a project of Save Philippine Seas (SPS), American Spaces Philippines, and the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines
