If you have smart, entrepreneurial ideas in mobility (i.e., logistical challenges in moving people and packages), and if you can work in Manila, then send your application to the ‘Impact Hub Manila Fellowship in Innovation in Mobility with LBC’. This is the first fellowship program by Impact Hub Manila, a start-up incubator, and was achieved in partnership with LBC Express. Participants can win more than P1M worth of fellowship prizes, access to seed funding, and months of workspace usage at Impact Hub Manila.

The solutions can address the constant dilemma of commuting, energy and resources efficiency in general transport, methods to optimize traffic flow, smarter transportation management, value chain innovation, and improvements to supply and distribution channels.
