In celebration of National Innovation Day (NID) 2025, the Development Academy of the Philippines, through its Center for Strategic Futures (CSF), launched its first Academy-wide Hackathon titled “DAPat Magaling: The DAP Hackathon for AI-Enabled Knowledge Management.”
Anchored on the NID 2025 theme “FLIP: Forging Leaders of Innovation in the Philippines,” the Hackathon aims to strengthen DAP’s internal innovation capacity by engaging employees in the co-creation of AI-enabled tools and prototypes that support the Academy’s digital transformation agenda.
The kick-off session on April 21 equipped participants with foundational knowledge through learning sessions on:
- Knowledge Management 101
- Theory of Change
- Developing Proof-of-Concepts & Prototypes
- Artificial Intelligence 101
This pioneering initiative promotes employee-led innovation, fostering a culture of collaboration, creativity, and digital readiness within the organization.
Selected outputs from the Hackathon may be considered for full development and integration into DAP’s systems—ensuring that bold ideas lead to real impact.
Up next: The third phase on May 5, 2025, where teams will pitch and refine their prototypes to showcase their potential in shaping a more agile and future-ready DAP!
