About Us
MapX is among the successful startup under the incubation program of Caraga State University’s Technology Business Incubator (TBI) – Navigatu. It was born out of the university’s previous successful large projects, namely: the Philippine Light Detection and Ranging II (Phil-Lidar II) and Information and Communication Technology for Responsible Mining (ICT4RM). In late 2019, Caraga State University’s stellar researcher in emerging technologies, Dr. Rolyn C. Daguil, together with his team, propose and presented the creation of MapX. Not long after, the startup was granted and funded to operate initially by the Funding Assistance for Spin-off and Translation in Advancing Commercialization Program (FASTRAC), which is under the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). This, however, leads to the founding of MapX and Dr. Daguil as the Chief Executive Officer of the startup company.
