After showcasing impressive talent and creativity among 100 students at the Young Founders Summit Phnom Penh held on November 2, 2025, 9 outstanding youths have been officially selected to continue their mission at the Bootcamp in Singapore, starting from December 18, 2025.

Participating in this 6-day Residential Bootcamp will provide meaningful lessons and valuable new experiences for our young entrepreneurs. Students will have the opportunity to meet like-minded youth traveling from various countries across Asia, as well as interact directly with numerous experts who will serve as mentors and coaches to guide them over the next 6 months. This is a crucial first step in preparing to achieve their goal of becoming young entrepreneurs on the international stage at the Young Founders Summit Demo Day 2026.

During this stay, students will engage in many key activities, such as connecting with other young entrepreneurs to find partners and form teams to collaboratively develop business ideas. They will seek clear direction for their innovations, conduct deep dives into understanding users and their problems, brainstorm and test ideas in real-world scenarios, and learn how to pitch as professional entrepreneurs. In this short period, they will gain a sharp team for future competitions, a concrete initiative, added confidence in innovation, and a clear path to move forward.

Beyond classroom learning, students will have the special opportunity to visit world-renowned tech institutions such as Riot Games, Google, Grab, and AWS. This is a chance to gain further insight into the operations of major enterprises and experience modern technology firsthand in Singapore.

Upon receiving the news of their selection, Pov Morakot, one of the candidates selected for the Residential Bootcamp 2025, shared their excitement:

“I’m excited to learn from real founders, explore new ideas, and understand how innovation works in a global environment. I’m also looking forward to meeting other young leaders from different countries and experiencing the energy of Singapore’s tech and startup scene.”

Additionally, Vuthoeun Korngbormey shared an inspiring message:

“Don't wait for the 'perfect moment'; just do it. You don't need to have everything figured out before you start. Technology and entrepreneurship can feel scary, but the only way to learn is by taking the first step.”

Tech for Kids Academy would like to congratulate all 9 young entrepreneurs on this amazing opportunity! We truly admire your courage, creativity, and collaborative spirit in striving to inspire new ideas to solve social problems. Their next step has begun! How will their journey unfold? Let’s stay tuned and watch together
