Our Story
NEXTGEN Summit was born from the dreams and frustration of young entrepreneurs craving a space to grow their ideas and connect. Across the world, students eager to change the world through entrepreneurship often find themselves isolated without the right support or community.
NEXTGEN Summit is their beacon, offering the vital skills and connections that will fuel their journey toward making a meaningful impact in the business world. NEXTGEN supports more than aspiring entrepreneurs; it's designed for any ambitious student aiming to excel in the real world alongside their peers.
Our Mission
NEXTGEN is a brand that focuses on connecting, educating, and empowering future entrepreneurs, CEOs, and innovators. The NEXTGEN Summit is one way NEXTGEN embodies its core values.
