Korea's flagship year-end startup festival, billed as "the world's most startup-led event" — the entire program is curated and run by founders and startup communities rather than a corporate organizer. Three days at COEX pair the COMEUPSTARS pitch competition for breakout early-stage teams with global investor matchmaking, sessions and side events across Seoul. A high-signal way to read where Korean tech is heading and to meet the next cohort of K-startup founders before they scale abroad.
