Do I need to have a business idea to apply?

No, you don't! Our program starts with helping you identify ideas that you want to pursue. We do encourage those with their own startup ideas to apply as well to see how they can turn their ideas into reality.

What happens when I join?

Our team breaks down the entrepreneurial journey into 6 easy milestones and guides you through workshops, live sessions, content, and more to meet each milestone.

What do I get at the end of the program?

All participants receive a certificate of completion and badge to mark their participation in the challenge. If you’ve followed along with the challenge, you would complete the program with a business plan, prototype, a pitch deck and an operational startup. Winners would also receive exclusive prizes and additional support for their ventures.

Who is eligible to apply?

This challenge is open to any high school student around the world.

How does the annual plan work?

Through our annual plan, you would be able to participate in two challenges hosted by Expop: Oct 2025 Startup Challenge and Apr 2026 Finance Challenge.
