Young Founders Summit is a platform for youth changemakers to convene, get entrepreneurship education, mentoring, networks and funding to create innovative solutions that solve sustainability challenges and create a change.
Our mission is to make entrepreneurial mindset and skillset accessible to Generation Zs globally. We believe that by nurturing Gen Zs’ changemaker heartset, combined with digital-first innovation, it will unleash a future world that is inclusive, accessible, and sustainable.
Since 2018, we have impacted 1,600 students, built a community of 114 expert mentors.
We've seen teams from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, India, Japan, Hong Kong, S. Korea, Brunei, and UAE, with ideas ranging from AgriTech, EduTech, HealthTech, FinTech and more.
120+ teams have been chosen to be mentored and guided on how to turn their idea into a startup.
In 2022, we are looking for ideas that are not only innovative, but will create a positive impact.
