Berkeley Summit House Foundation Selected as Finalist for Forbes China 2025 Gen Z Entrepreneurship Awards

  • Nov 29, 2025

We are honored to announce that Berkeley Summit House Foundation has been selected as a finalist in the Forbes China 2025 Gen Z Entrepreneurship Project Awards. This recognition reflects our commitment to fostering innovation and supporting emerging entrepreneurs.

The awards program, jointly initiated by Forbes China and GenZec, aims to inspire entrepreneurial potential among the next generation of youths. The initiative encourages young entrepreneurs to develop projects in six key sectors: female consumption, leading AI technology, life sciences and health, consumer goods, professional training, and sustainable public welfare project.

The evaluation was based on seven key dimensions: clarity of logic, thematic innovation, project feasibility, investment value, social/community impact, presentation/communication skills, and teamwork. Each project underwent rigorous review by judges from both investment and industry sectors. From nearly 100 applications, only 14 projects were chosen for the fall round shortlist.

As a nominee of the fall round selection, Berkeley Summit House Foundation will join the spring round winners at the 2025 Forbes China Gen Z Startup Project Awards Ceremony and Venture Capital Gala on December 13, 2025.

This acknowledgment strengthens our resolve to continue building bridges between academic research, entrepreneurship, and investment. We remain dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for emerging innovators to connect and collaborate.
