AsiaStartupExpo Q4 2025 Opens Registration for Startups and Investors

Final edition of the year returns on December 4 with a refined format and a new recognition for one winning startup

The AsiaStartupExpo Q4 2025 is set to close out the year with a stronger, more focused edition aimed at amplifying opportunities for startups and investors across Asia. Scheduled for December 4, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM (SGT), the virtual event promises an improved format, deeper engagement, and for the first time, the selection of a winner from among the pitching startups.

Organized by AsiaTechDaily, beSUCCESS, KoreaTechDesk and IndiaTechDesk, the AsiaStartupExpo series continues to serve as a bridge between Asia’s early-stage startups and global investors. Over the past year, the quarterly event has connected dozens of startups with venture capital firms, corporate partners, and angel networks eager to discover new opportunities in emerging markets.

Refined, Focused, and Founder-Centric

Following the success of AsiaStartupExpo Q3 2025, which drew esteemed investors and featured ten standout startups from across Asia, the upcoming edition will offer an improved experience designed around startup visibility and investor engagement.

This quarter’s event will feature ten promising startups pitching their solutions before a panel of investors and industry experts. What makes this edition special is that, for the first time, there will be a winner selected from the shortlisted startups. The winning startup will receive a special recognition and prize, details of which will be announced at the event.

“Each edition of AsiaStartupExpo evolves with the needs of the ecosystem. This quarter, we’re introducing a recognition element to celebrate the most promising startup and refining the program to make it even more impactful for founders,” said a spokesperson for AsiaTechDaily.

Program Highlights

AsiaStartupExpo Q4 2025 will retain its concise, high-impact structure with a mix of keynote insights, startup pitches, and investor discussions. The session will run for two and a half hours and feature a carefully curated lineup of participants.

The keynote session will open the program with forward-looking insights on Asia’s Startup and Investment Outlook, offering participants a perspective on shifting market dynamics and upcoming opportunities. The keynote speaker and panel of investor judges will be announced in the coming weeks.

The main segment will spotlight ten early- and growth-stage startups from across Asia. Each founder will deliver a four-minute pitch, followed by a brief Q&A and feedback session led by investors. The event will conclude with the announcement of the AsiaStartupExpo Q4 2025 Winner, chosen based on innovation, scalability, and presentation quality.

Why This Edition Matters

The AsiaStartupExpo has, over the past year, evolved into a consistent regional platform for startups and investors to connect in a meaningful way. It allows founders to refine their ideas, gain investor feedback, and open doors to partnerships and funding opportunities.

The Q4 2025 edition continues this tradition while introducing a sharper, more founder-focused format. By adding a winner selection and improving overall flow, the event aims to make participation more rewarding for startups and engaging for investors.

“Our goal is to create an ecosystem where founders are not only seen but also celebrated,” said the organizing team. “This edition represents that spirit — sharper, faster, and more beneficial for startups.”

Startups at the seed to growth stage are encouraged to apply to pitch. The expo provides them with an opportunity to present directly to investors, receive constructive feedback, and gain regional visibility through AsiaTechDaily’s network. All shortlisted startups will automatically be considered for the Q4 2025 Winner Recognition.

Investors, meanwhile, can register to join the panel of judges and interact with founders during the live pitching session. They will evaluate pitches, share insights, and connect with companies that align with their investment theses. The final list of investor judges will be announced soon.
