Gen SEA Summit

Climate, conflict, capital flight, AI displacement — the next ten years will not be patient with anyone who waits for permission. Gen SEA Summit brings together the under-30s already building inside the storm: founders, organisers, researchers, artists, civil servants. Three days. Five sectors. One question — what will you have built before you turn thirty?

We're not looking for the most polished applicants. We're looking for the ones already moving.

Partners & Sponsors

Help us make this happen. We're partnering with organizations who believe in ASEAN's next generation of builders.

Five sectors, one room

Where the work is happening

Each track is led by practitioners who have shipped at scale across ASEAN. You'll spend the three days deep in one sector and adjacent to the other four.

    Wellness & Public Health

    Mental health infrastructure, ageing populations, frontline care that actually scales.

    Food & Agriculture

    Climate-resilient farming, supply chains the next generation can inherit, food sovereignty.

    AI & Frontier Tech

    Sovereign models, applied research, the tooling layer Southeast Asia keeps having to import.

    Creative Industries

    Story, design, music, games — the soft power infrastructure of a region the world is finally watching.

    Education & Talent

    What replaces the degree, who teaches the next million engineers, why so many leave for nothing back home.

The room is small. The window is open.

Individual applications close 15 May. Startup applications close 23 May.
