About the "G-1 Startup GRAND PRIX

Launched in 2022, the "G-1 Startup Grand Prix"—where “G” comes from "学生起業家"—is far more than a pitch contest: it’s a springboard for the boldest young visionaries in Asia. Each year, G-1 brings together student founders driven by a single mission—to pour their passion, creativity, and courage into ideas that can reshape industries, societies, and beyond.

From hands-on workshops and one-on-one mentoring to a climactic live pitch before top investors and media, G-1 fuels dreams with real resources and a fiercely supportive community.

G-1's core belief is that when tomorrow’s leaders are given trust, exposure, and a stage to shine, extraordinary mega-ventures emerge. We champion their hopes, amplify their voices, and together kindle a new era of world-changing innovation—starting here, starting now.
