YOUNG FOUNDERS SUMMIT ASIA

In 2018, 400+ students applied.

30 teams from 6 countries were chosen to come to Singapore to compete in the Semi-Finals.

One team has since built a business which processed >USD 50,000 of transactions; one has written a book to raise awareness and funds about elephants; and another has physically collected 1 tonne of recyclable materials!

This year, USD 15,000 of cash prizes are up for grabs.

The champion takes home USD 10,000, and a real-world, business building experience that is like no other.

Are you up for it? Are you the next changemaker?
