The delegation was composed of Dr. Rogel Mari Sese, Director; Dr. Raymond Sintos; Engr. Ottoman Montani; Mr. Patrick Angelo Paasa, core team members; and Ms. Neshren Ebno, TBI Manager.

The team also observed the ๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐, offering firsthand exposure to Japanโs pitching standards, startup maturity, and founder culture. This experience provided fresh insights on global approaches to startup acceleration and venture building. These learning engagements aim to enrich ADDVenturesโ incubation strategies, strengthen its operational sustainability, and advance its role in supporting high-impact startups in Mindanao and the broader Philippine innovation ecosystem.
This initiative was made possible through the support of ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, whose commitment to empowering Filipino innovators continues to open doors for global knowledge exchange and strategic collaboration.
As ADDVentures forges international linkages, the Center remains steadfast in its mission to elevate Mindanaoโs participation in the global innovation movementโbuilding networks, fostering partnerships, and bringing home practices that inspire inclusive, future-ready development for the communities we serve.
