Ateneo Blue Nest is the start-up incubation program of the Ateneo de Manila University managed by the Commercialization and Business Incubation group of the Ateneo Intellectual Property Office (AIPO) and supported by the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD). It was originally conceived from AIPO’s predecessor office, the Technology Management Office, to translate Ateneo’s research output into commercially viable products and services but has now expanded to support and promote a culture of innovation in the country.

The Blue Nest caters to the needs of startups both within and outside of the university. As a university-based incubator, it provides start-ups a space to operate within the sprawling campus of ADMU, specifically housed in the Eduardo J. Aboitiz Sandbox Zone in Areté. As a university-based incubator, it serves as a hub for entrepreneurial growth, providing startups with access to a wealth of resources and intellectual capital. Startups can tap into Ateneo's extensive network of faculty, researchers, alumni, and students, benefiting from their expertise and guidance. Additionally, the Blue Nest offers a range of services, including business registration, administrative support, fund-sourcing, investor matching, office space within Ateneo, and tailored mentoring to help startups scale and thrive.

​

​At the forefront of AIPO's mission, the Ateneo Blue Nest Incubation Program proudly aligns itself with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With a steadfast commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, the Ateneo Blue Nest empowers start-ups to address pressing global challenges and contribute to sustainable development. Through its comprehensive support services, access to university resources, and expert mentoring, the Ateneo Blue Nest ensures that these transformative ventures thrive and prosper, driving us closer to a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
