Come this Thursday, D.Camp operated by the Banks Foundation for Young Entrepreneurs will host the biggest demo day of the year, in collaboration with 22 financial institutions. 

The D.Day X D.Camp All Star event will be held at Front 1, one of the two incubator hubs managed by the foundation. 

A total of 297 startups, including those headquartered outside of South Korea, applied to present their business models and products at the monthly event. Ten select startups will have the chance to do so at this week's event.

The D.Camp All Star will be split into two parts, with the first part being the pitches by five early-stage startups. 

The second part will consist of five startups in the Series A round or even in the later stages of fundraising. 

There will be other events alongside the main event such as Global Meetup, hosted by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Cento Ventures and more.
