iHub Eastern Visayas is a regional innovation-hub program of the Department of Science and Technology, Region VIII, connecting startups, researchers, and mentors across all six provinces of Eastern Visayas - from Biliran to Eastern Samar.
To empower innovators, startups, and researchers across Eastern Visayas with the mentorship, infrastructure, and connections they need to turn ideas into ventures - reaching every province in Region VIII, not just its regional center.
iHub Eastern Visayas operates under the mandate of the Department of Science and Technology to advance science, technology, and innovation as drivers of regional development, extending DOST Region VIII’s presence through a coordinated network of provincial and regional innovation hubs.
