From Struggle to Solutions: How Filipino Innovators Are Reimagining 2026

UNLEASH Philippines, a local innovation program of UNLEASH initiative which aims to empower young changemakers and early-stage innovators using collaborative, user-centered design and prototyping methods. 

With the closing of 2025 and the start of 2026, UNLEASH Philippines helped shine a light to pressing issues in the country and equip individuals striving to enact change and strengthen solution efforts during a week-long Innovation Lab gathered 150 participants from across the Philippines and hear from the winners. This was developed in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF).
