AI-powered settlement support platform BridgeAI has been selected as a finalist in the 2025 OKTA Global Startup Competition, hosted by the World Federation of Overseas Korean Traders Association (World-OKTA). The competition is part of the official program of the 29th World OKTA Business Convention, which will be held on October 28, 2025, at Songdo Convensia in Incheon, Korea.
As a finalist in Group 1, BridgeAI will present on stage and has been automatically selected for 1:1 Investor Meet-up sessions. A total of 16 companies will compete in the finals, with all presentations conducted in English. Each team will have 7 minutes, including a 5-minute pitch and a 2-minute Q&A with judges and investors.
The competition began in August with an entrepreneurship program led by Silicon Valley faculty, followed by an online IR semi-final in September. The final awards ceremony will take place on October 29 during the closing session of the World OKTA Business Convention, where winners of the Grand Prize, Excellence Awards, and Merit Awards will be announced.
BridgeAI was founded by team members who met at the Auckland NextGen Trade School: Soojae Lee (Tokyo), Dayoung Ko & Youngjo Kim (Sydney), DongCHeol eom (Brisbane), Kwangwoo Kim (Auckland), and Nawon Lee (Christchurch). The team stated, “Reaching the finals is not the achievement of one individual but a shared accomplishment of team members from across different regions. We are honored to present our technology and business model to global investors and the overseas Korean business community, and this milestone will help us take a significant step forward on the global stage.”
The competition continues to serve as a vital platform for supporting startups in expanding abroad, attracting global investment, and strengthening cooperation through the worldwide Korean business network.
