#CulturePH - Startupper of The Year by Total Officially Kicks Off!

In its journey to become the responsible energy major, Total (Philippines) Corporation launched Startupper of the Year by Total, an idea-pitching competition that wants to discover groundbreaking initiatives and social enterprises for the Philippines.



The 2018-2019 Startupper of the Year by Total Challenge will support and reward young local entrepreneurs in any business sector with a project or business less than two years old. In each participating country, a local jury comprised of experts from Total, specialists from incubators and accelerators, business leaders and local community stakeholders will select three winners.

“Total recognizes the creativity and passion of the Filipino youth. We are optimistic that the first run of Startupper of the Year by Total can spark positive change in the country through the efforts of the participants,” says Laurent Stouffe, Managing Director of Total (Philippines) Corporation


Each winner will be awarded the “Startupper of the Year by Total” label and receive financial support of at most Php 750,000, plus professional coaching and extensive publicity to advertise their project.



To support women entrepreneurs, the jury will also designate a Top Female Entrepreneur in each country. This special award, which is in addition to the other awards, is Total’s way of encouraging more women to take part in the Challenge.

A grand jury will meet subsequently to select six overall Grand Winners from among the first-prize winners in each country.
