The program runs from 13 January to 30 March 2027. In January and February there are about two hours of virtual sessions a week, with market webinars and two one on one sessions with industry leaders who stay on as mentors. In March, companies spend four days in Manila at Water Philippines 2027, with free pavilion space, half a day of B2B meetings and a pitch session with utilities, integrators and venture capital firms.
