Every year, the World Economic Forum bestows the honor of Young Global Leader on distinguished individuals below 40.
The Young Global Leader nomination has been described as “recognition of your record of professional accomplishments, your commitment to society and your potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world through your inspiring leadership”.
The community of the Young Global Leaders is “a global network of peers from diverse backgrounds and fields, with the goal of significantly impacting world affairs and shaping the global agenda.” It is a forum for young leaders to be a voice for the future and change agents
