Introducing GSSC

The Global Student Startup Competition (GSSC), hosted at the Asian Leadership Conference (ALC), is a core pillar of the Global Student Startup Foundation (GSSF) – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing future leaders through equal access to global opportunities.

Each year, the ALC unites global leaders, political figures, CEOs, and scholars to address the world’s top pressing challenges. Within this ecosystem, GSSC expands equal access to opportunity by placing top emerging student innovators at the center of these global conversations.

This year, 60+ undergraduate students from around the world will be selected to travel—fully funded—to Seoul, South Korea, where they will pitch ventures on “Next Generation of Culture & Media: Empowering Connection & Truth” to a live audience of global leaders, investors, and decision-makers.
