Young Global Changers

Young Global Changers brings together young, innovative minds dedicated to reshaping economies and societies for a sustainable and equitable future.

Since 2017, the Young Global Changers program has attracted over 500 young professionals, social entrepreneurs, non-profit leaders, students, and activists from 120+ countries from around the world, dedicated to changing the world for the better.

The YGC program identifies, connects, empowers and supports these young people from different areas of society who are already actively pushing for change in their communities, enabling them to build a global community and become part of an impactful multistakeholder network.

Each year, the Global Solutions Initiative selects up to 60 young changemakers to join the network. For each cohort, a group of 15 Finalists (five per category) is invited to join the Global Solutions Summit in Berlin in May to showcase their work and connect with leaders and thinkers from government, business, academia and civil society.
