Strengthening Humanity-Centered Partnerships
July 30, 2025
Ateneo de Manila University campus
A Design Thinking Convention
Inspired by the beloved Filipino dessert, halo-halo, a vibrant mix of flavors, textures, and colors, this conference celebrates the power of collaboration across Government, Universities, and Enterprises.
Each sector brings a unique “ingredient” to the mix:
-
Government: Champions inclusive growth through policy, governance, and public programs.
-
Universities: Drive research, knowledge creation, and human capital development.
-
Enterprises: Deliver innovation, market-ready solutions, and scalable impact.
Together, we co-create a future where humanity-centered design and cross-sectoral synergy lead to transformative solutions.
Why “Halo-halo Bites”?
