We are seeking young kiwi innovators to join us on a trip to
Hangzhou, China in October 2019 to attend, and pitch at the
world’s largest start-up competition for university students
and recent graduates.
The local competition commences each year in March, with
applicants from numerous Chinese Universities. The local teams
spend 6 months in the competition, which culminates with a
final event held each year in October. The top 100 Chinese
teams are then joined by 100 international teams at this event,
which is a huge 2-day start-up festival.
Last year’s competition witnessed the participation of 2,278
universities from over 50 countries. More than 2.65 million
Chinese college graduates signed up for the domestic award,
with over 640,000 projects/companies!

do just that." Matthew Canham – CEO of Geemo
