Global Student Startup Competition

Human Centered AI: Augmenting and Empowering Humanity

May 18-22, 2025 | Seoul, South Korea

Introducing GSSC

Born out of a mission to empower the next generation of global leaders, The Asian Leadership Conference (ALC), Korea’s premier international conference, kicks off its first ever Global Student Startup Competition in 2025. 

Each year, the Asian Leadership Conference brings together global leaders—political figures from across the spectrum, CEOs, and scholars—to discuss pressing global issues and inspire future generations. 

This year, 60 international and local college students will take center stage, traveling completely free of charge to Seoul, South Korea, to pitch their ventures on Human Centered AI to a live audience of the most influential global leaders.

“When you become somebody big in the future, you come back as a speaker to pass your knowledge and wisdom to your next generation.”
