How do I apply?

For 2026, we are directly reaching out to select companies.

If you are interested in being considered for this year’s LEAP-S program, please contact us via email (LEAPS@samsung.com) with introductory material of your company such as a corporate deck or an investor pitch deck. Virtual or in-person meetings with the LEAP-S team will follow to assess fit. Select companies will be requested to apply using our application template that includes, but is not limited to, an overview of your company and a development plan of the proposed PoC project.
