2. Considering the Background

This event is held with the intention of promoting the young generation’s leadership in technological innovation. Why is such a movement being emphasized now? Society is rapidly changing, and the evolution of technology has a significant impact on our daily lives. We are questioning how the perspectives and ideas of the younger generation can transform existing industries and social structures. If this situation continues, what will the future look like?

3. What Will the Future Hold?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Technological Innovation is the Norm

Younger individuals will act as a bridge between technology and industry, making technological innovation part of everyday life. New ideas and products will emerge continuously, and our lives will become more convenient. As our understanding of technology deepens, our values may also shift towards prioritizing efficiency and practicality.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future with Diverse Startups Thriving

Through this event, it is expected that young people will be inspired and lead the way globally as the next generation of leaders. The introduction of diverse ideas into the market will create new industries and invigorate the economy. Consequently, our values may shift towards actively embracing challenges and changes.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Ideas Are Lost

If the ideas of young people are not sufficiently understood or are left unimplemented, the speed of technological innovation may slow down. There is a risk that new talents will remain undiscovered, leading to stagnation in our lives. This could strengthen values that fear change.
