The Spark Project, the local community partner of Impact Hub, is set to bring together changemakers, entrepreneurs, and advocates for the I’MPRINT Festival 2026—a one-day inclusive learning event and bazaar taking place on April 14, 2026, at the QC MICE Center. Supported by The Nippon Foundation, the festival runs from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and forms part of the broader ELEVATE Program—an Asia-Pacific initiative advancing inclusive entrepreneurship across the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

A shared space for inclusion and innovation

At its core, I’MPRINT Festival is designed as a collaborative space—bringing together entrepreneurs, organizations, and community members to exchange ideas, build connections, and co-create solutions that support persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Inspired by the belief that every individual has a unique story to tell, the festival celebrates identity, diversity, and opportunity—spotlighting the journeys and contributions of PWDs in business and beyond.

A marketplace of purpose

A major highlight of the event is the Inclusive Bazaar, where PWD-led and inclusive social enterprises will showcase a diverse range of products—from food and handcrafted goods to assistive devices and sustainable innovations. It’s not just a marketplace, but a platform that amplifies visibility and supports inclusive livelihoods.

From awareness to action

Beyond the bazaar, the festival offers a dynamic lineup of sessions designed to move participants from learning to real-world application.

Key highlights include:

  • Talks on Inclusion, Accessibility, and Social Entrepreneurship, sharing insights from disability advocates and ecosystem leaders
  • A Digital Inclusion Sprint, offering hands-on training on alt text, captions, accessible design, and plain language
  • Breakout Sessions focused on strengthening LGU engagement, improving accessibility practices, and enhancing inclusive event management
  • A Fireside Chat on Inclusive Entrepreneurship, featuring stories from PWD entrepreneurs and partners driving meaningful change

Together, these sessions aim to equip participants with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and valuable networks to build more inclusive communities and organizations.

Strengthening the ecosystem

While efforts toward disability inclusion continue to grow in the Philippines, many remain disconnected. I’MPRINT Festival responds to this gap by creating a unified platform where collaboration can thrive.

For The Spark Project, the goal is clear: to bring together entrepreneurs, enablers, and advocates in one space where ideas can turn into action. By combining visibility with learning opportunities, the festival opens pathways for more inclusive and sustainable growth.

Be part of the movement

I’MPRINT Festival 2026 is open to entrepreneurs, students, organizations, and anyone committed to building a more inclusive future.

Happening on April 14, 2026, at the QC MICE Center in Quezon City, the event invites everyone to take part in shaping a more accessible and empowered entrepreneurial landscape.
