Asia is digitally transforming as it embraces technology. At the same time, Asia has a large youth population whose talents have yet to be harnessed fully to create shared prosperity and solve problems. Imagine Cup brings together young technologists to help solve the world’s toughest challenges through technology innovation. It encourages young people to apply their imagination and creativity to a business or social problem, build innovative technology solutions to address theproblem, and experience the feeling of making a difference in the world.

At its 15th year anniversary, Imagine Cup is proud to partner with ASEAN Business Advisory Council and Philippine Airlines to host the first-ever Southeast Asia Regional Finals, in celebration of the 50th year anniversary of ASEAN. From APRIL 23 - 26, 2017, Ten national champions will be gathered from around the region to compete at this 4-day event for the honor to represent the region at the Worldwide Finals, and the chance to compete for cash, prizes, travel opportunities and the ultimate glory of taking home the Imagine Cup!
