Over the past months, the competition has travelled across the globe, with 164 promising young chefs competing in Regional Finals judged by distinguished local juries. These events showcased extraordinary skill, creativity and personal vision, producing 15 finalists who will vie for the prestigious title during the Grand Finale.

The event will bring together these 15 regional champions as they present their signature dishes to an international jury of acclaimed culinary masters: Christophe Bacquié, Jeremy Chan, Antonia Klugmann, Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, Niki Nakayama, Elena Reygadas and Julien Royer. These esteemed judges will evaluate the dishes based on technical expertise, creative flair, and the potential to drive positive change through gastronomy.

Among the highlights of the Grand Finale will be the presentation of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Award, alongside other significant recognitions: the S.Pellegrino Social Responsibility Award, the Acqua Panna Connection in Gastronomy Award and the Fine Dining Lovers Food for Thought Award.

The story of Nelson Freitas, winner of the 2022-23 edition, exemplifies the unique opportunities the Academy offers. Under the mentorship of Virgilio Martínez, chef of Central (World's Best Restaurant 2023), Nelson solidified his career and became part of the Central team. His journey, documented in Afuera Hay Más – A Young Chef's Journey, underscores how the Academy nurtures emerging talent while shaping the future of gastronomy.

The Grand Finale will be a celebration of culinary excellence, with the finalists collaborating closely with their mentors to refine their recipes and elevate their presentations ahead of the competition.
