The successful run of the Globe 5G Hackathon has brought out three groups on top, namely Alaga Health, a telehealth marketplace and service hub, Tenth Maria, a mobile app that recovers surplus food for underserved communities, and Team CamvS, an online service mall, as the competition’s winners, for their exceptional use of 5G technology in growing and building their platforms.
Out of 289 teams and over 700 individuals who entered the competition, the winning ideas in the first-ever Globe 5G Hackathon focused on democratizing healthcare services, proper food waste management for businesses, and creating opportunities for service providers and clients.
As the pioneer of 5G technology in the Philippines, Globe launched the three-month competition as a way to unlock Filipino innovators’ potential and assist them in bringing their ideas for high-impact, real-world applications of 5G to life.

“We live in a fast-paced world and we at Globe believe that the best way to keep up with the changing times is to educate our customers about the power of technology and its possibilities for bettering our society. We hope to have more hackathons in the years to come and may this platform hone the desire of the Filipino youth to inspire and spark further innovations for the betterment of the future,” said Darius Delgado, Head of Globe Consumer Mobile Business.
The top three winners were determined by their scores in the following areas: 20% business plan proposal, 20% venture worthiness, 40% testing of the working prototype, and 20% presentation and defense during the question and answer portion of the program.
