GRAFFITI Startup Festival

It has become the societal norm to prioritize ‘doing what you have to do’ over ‘doing what you must do’. Young people are choosing more stable paths, consuming the present for the sake of the future. ICISTS questions this mentality.

Startups are pioneers who contemplate and pursue the values they dream of. We aim to inspire young people with the stories and mentalities of startups, encouraging them to take on challenges.

At the GRAFFITI Startup Festival startups and young people can come together, closely interact, and exchange the values of taking on challenges. We aim to lower the societal barriers to start taking on challenges.

Vision

  • To spread the value of ‘pursuing what you want to do’ to university students, who will be the leaders of future society.

Mission

  • To break existing stereotypes and provide participants with a chance of intense study on various themes.

  • To involve university students in every stage of the event from planning to execution, fostering the formation of long-term networks.
