The Asia Business Model Challenge (ABMC) is a cross-border, non-profit educational initiative jointly led by a network of Asian universities and entrepreneurship hubs. Since its founding in 2021, ABMC has provided a platform for university-based startup teams to collaboratively refine and validate business models within diverse Asian market contexts.
Building upon the foundation of the Japan-ABMC, ABMC convenes selected student startup teams from Japan, Korea, Singapore, and other Asian regions. Distinct from a traditional competition, ABMC emphasizes dialogue, mentorship, and co-creation among student founders, faculty advisors, startup mentors, and investors.
