What is a Young Global Leader?

Each year, the Forum of Young Global Leaders goes through a rigorous selection process to identify, select, and celebrate notable leaders under the age of 40 from different communities and industries from all over the world.

These members are young leaders that exemplify what we need the most right now: hope, empathy, authenticity, and promotion of solutions that lead the world to a better place.

In these hard times, an opportunity has emerged so that leaders can show off their roles to responsibly improve the state of the world. Check out the complete list of the 2024 Young Global Leader class on the following link.
