The Ateneo Intellectual Property Office (AIPO) attended the 1st Qwen Meetup in Manila on March 5, 2026. The event provided an opportunity for AIPO to engage with the local AI builder community, learn more about the Qwen open-source model family, and explore how access to Alibaba Cloud services may create more opportunities for Ateneo students to experiment with emerging AI tools and infrastructure. AIPO’s work includes startup support, IP protection, and innovation management, making participation in conversations like this relevant to its broader role in linking the university to evolving technology ecosystems.

The Qwen Meetup Manila is a community-centered gathering for developers, technologists, and AI-curious builders interested in the practical uses of open-source AI. The evening was filled with hands-on engagement and lightning shares from local developers on best use-cases for Qwen. This event allowed AIPO to see how AI tools are being explored within local communities and industries. (GitHub)

This is a great example of how university innovation offices should be spending their time—not just in boardrooms or filing patents, but actually showing up at community-driven developer events. The fact that AIPO sent representatives to the first Qwen Meetup in Manila to learn about open-source AI firsthand, rather than just reading about it, says a lot about their approach. Open-source models like Qwen are lowering the barrier to entry for students who want to experiment with AI infrastructure, and AIPO's role in connecting the university to Alibaba Cloud services could be genuinely impactful.
